Format of Signature: ftSignatureFormat

The Middleware uses the same ftSignatureFormat in Germany as in all other countries, as described in the Format of Signature: ftSignatureFormat reference table of the Compliance Middleware.

In Germany, you can print the fiscalization details either as a QR code or as text. The QR code specified by the DSFinV-K does not contain all values, so the Middleware adds a flag to the ftSignatureFormat value that marks signatures as optional to print when you print the QR code. For more information, see Printing receipts.

When included in the ftSignatureFormat, printing the signature to the physical receipt is not required. The returned QR code replaces these signatures. If the hardware used does not support printing QR codes, these values must be printed instead. For more information, see Content of the QR code. The Queue configuration parameter FlagOptionalSignatures (which can be set in the Portal) can be set to false to disable adding this flag to any items.		1.3.23-
