Reference tables

This chapter expands on the reference tables covered in the Chapter "Reference tables" of the General Part, with country-specific information applicable to the Austrian market.

Service Status: ftState

The table below describes it supported statuses for the ftState field following the Austrian law. The ftState from this reference table and the general part of this documentation can be combined through the logic operator "OR". For example 0x4154000000000010 (monthly report due) and 0x4154000000000008 combined through OR results in 0x4154000000000018.

The country-specific code is made of the country's code value following the ISO-3166-1-ALPHA-2 standard, converted from ASCII into hex. For Austria (AT) this is 0x4154, which results in 0x4154000000000000 as the value for the "ready" status.

ValueDescriptionMiddleware-Version
0x4154000000000001"out of service"
No RKSV signatures are generated or sent back. No RKSV-DEP is written, as nothing is being signed. The E131-DEP records requests and responses.
1.0
0x4154000000000002"SSCD temporary out of service"
For at least one receipt, it was not possible to receive the signature from an allocated SSCD. Thus, the security mechanism has been put into "signature creation device out of service" mode. Regardless of whether an allocated SSCD is available again or not, the mode remains in place until, via zero receipt, all previous receipts can be signed. If this mode is activated, an out of service signature, in accordance with the RKSV, is generated and sent back.
1.0
0x4154000000000004"SSCD permanently out of service"
The status "SSCD temporary out of service" was activated more than 48h ago. Thus a FinanzOnline notification has been generated.
For conduct and termination of this mode, see "SSCD temporary out of service".
1.0
0x4154000000000008"subsequent entry activated"
At least one receipt has been transferred with a subsequent entry flag. In order to finalize the subsequent entry and leave the mode, it is necessary to generate a zero receipt. This zero receipt signs and secures the preliminary receipts accordingly to the RKSV.
1.0
0x4154000000000010"monthly report due"
If the latest monthly or annual report are is in the current month, the service will signal this. This status does not impact the signature conduct of the service; it is merely an indicative notification.
1.0
0x4154000000000020"annual report due"
Same conduct as for "monthly report due"
1.0
0x4154000000000040"message / notification pending"
A status message and/or FinanzOnline notification is ready for collection.
Using a zero receipt, the messages can be retrieved and archived or processed in bookkeeping.
1.0
0x4154000000000080"backup SSCD in use"
The receipt was signed by a signature creation unit configured for backup use.

Table 21. Service status: ftState for AT - RKSVO

Type of Receipt: ftReceiptCase

The ftReceiptCase indicates the receipt type and defines how it should be processed by the fiskaltrust.SecurityMechanism in accordance with the Austrian law.

For Austria (AT) the country code is 0x4154. Thus, the value for an unknown ftReceiptCase in Austria is 0x4154000000000000.

This table expands on the values provided in the table "Type of Receipt: ftReceiptCaseFlag" of with values applicable to the Austrian market.

ValueDescriptionMiddleware-Version
0x0000000000010000"out of service"
The transferred receipt contains data which has been created during an outage of the security mechanism. The original receipts are available in handwritten or digital format and must now be transferred and subsequently consolidated and signed via zero receipt. In order to decide whether it is a temporary or permanent (more than 48 hours) outage of the security mechanism (for example in case of theft), the "oldest" or the receipt with the earliest date/time value of all retrieved receipts is used. This can be necessary, for example, after a power or server outage.
1.0
0x0000000000020000"training receipt"
Requests with this type of receipt are annotated with the reference "TRA" in the signature block. Instead of the encrypted cumulative sales counter, the BASE64 encrypted value of the TRA string is entered. The sales counter is, in accordance with the RKSV, not adjusted.
1.0
0x0000000000040000"reverse receipt"
Requests with this type of receipt are annotated with the reference "STO" in the signature block. Instead of the encrypted cumulative sales counter, a BASE64 encrypted value of the STO string is entered. Further processing depends on the underlying type of receipt.
1.0
0x0000000000080000"handwritten receipt" or "subsequent entry"
The transferred receipt contains data which has been collected in a handwritten receipt. Although there is no requirement for a time annotation on a handwritten receipt we recommend using 12:00 for this purpose.
Further processing depends on the underlying type of receipt. For example, this can be conducted after §7 cash revenue law for sales made outside business premises.
1.0
0x0000000000100000"small business, sales tax relief in accordance with §6 Abs 1 Z 27 UStG (sales tax law)"

The transferred receipt data should contain the correct VAT rate and the correct ftChargeItemCase, even if the identified sales tax is 0%.
1.0
0x0000000000200000"receiver is a company"
The transferred receipt contains a sales receipt, and the receiver is a trader.
Note regarding the characteristics of §11 UStG: for receipts with up to €400 gross amount, an invoice for small amounts can be issued. From €400 onwards, there are additional features to be displayed on the invoice, to enable the pre-tax deduction for the receiver of the invoice.
For receipts with a gross amount of €10.000 or more, in addition, the service receiver’s UID number has to be indicated.
We suggest transferring the data about the receiver in the field ftReceiptCaseData, in manufacturer-specific JSON format.

Printing of QR-Code not supported

If no QR code can be issued, it is allowed to place text using OCR typeface onto the receipt. For this procedure, BASE64-coded data fields are displayed in BASE32 according to §11 para. 2 RKSV. This is because the capital "i" and lowercase "L" are not distinguishable from each other in many typefaces.

For example, the following signature value is converted in the way described above. Whereby the following output BASE64 (bold) is:

_R1-AT0_DEMO-CASH-BOX426_776730_2015-10-14T18:20:23_0,00_0,00_0,00_0,00_0,00_0gJTFI8/zqc=_968935007593160625_fP7/PMP-SnQ0=_Xh5wNe0akaTOVvMgLVrCcRh2xmIyP91ogbxc5xv4Rrw64lpQsqLm+1GZxuCz4D1sZl9WCv3wMMoE0p+gyLaufg==

Code 15. Example of OCR output in Base64

The BASE32 display in accordance with the RKSV for this OCR text output in BASE32 (bold) looks as follows:

_R1-AT0_DEMO-CASH-BOX426_776730_2015-10-14T18:20:23_0,00_0,00_0,00_0,00_0,00_2IBFGFEPH7HKO===_968935007593160625_PT7P6PGD2KOQ2===_LYPHANPNDKI2JTSW6MQC2WWCOEMHNRTCGI7522EBXROOOG7YI26DVYS2KCZKFZX3KGM4NYFT4A6WYZS7KYFP34BQZICNFH5AZC3K47Q=

Code 16. Example of OCR output in Base32

This procedure has to be carried out by the cash register or input station itself because the service does not know whether a QR code can be printed or not, and because the data format for DEP storage requires a BASE64 display anyway.

A conversion tool is provided in the class fiskaltrust.ifPOS.Utility.

C# code example Converting to OCR:

string ocr = fiskaltrust.ifPOS.Utilities.AT_RKSV_Signature_ToBase32(qr_data);
