Projects:RT Server

Contents

Introduction

The new Italian fiscal law requires all POS applications to communicate with an RT (Registratore Telematico) fiscal device. One of them is the RT Server, a hardware box located in each store: each POS unit communicates with the RT-Server. The RT-Server communicates directly with the Fiscal Agency.

For this project, there are two mandatory modules to install:

And two optional modules (needed if you use the Self Checkout functionality):

RT Server Adapter

NCR RT Server Adapter is a software component that needs to be installed on each POS. It provides functions to manage the RT Server communication and other tools.

RT Adapter Functionalities are listed below:

In general, the main purpose of this adapter is to isolate the complexity of the asynchronous communication with the RT Server from each POS unit. This adapter retry the communication with the RT-Server in case the RT-Server is offline, and re-align the data with the server in case of errors. Besides this, the adapter is in charge of calculating the hash signature that the POS unit must print on every sales receipt. The communication between Openbravo Web POS and the RT Adapter will be through Web Service Communication, that is the one for non Java POS. Using this channel of communication, the POS communicated to the RT Adapter using a REST architecture that uses JSON to send and receive data.

Hardware Manager

RT Server project requires the usage of the Openbravo POS Hardware Manager (HM) software. Openbravo POS HM is a tiny web server that runs on a computer to which the peripherals such as fiscal printer or devices, customer display or cash drawer are connected.

POS Templates

This integration includes below listed sample print templates for sales and returns. These templates have been created according to Italian fiscal requirements. These two templates must be configured in the “Organization” window, under section “Web POS Formats”, therefore for the corresponding store:

It is important to remark that end-customer templates can be based on the above ones, and for sure will add more customizations.

Configuration

Client

RT Server integration project includes a new “Yes/No” parameter located in the Openbravo backoffice “Client” window, named “Use RT Server”, therefore the integration with this RT device can be enabled or not at Client level, that is for the corresponding Company/Entity. This parameter needs to be selected for Italian companies or entities, which require the integration with an RT-Server.

Preferences

Below listed preferences need to be enabled for any user within the corresponding Openbravo Client:

Below listed preferences need to be disabled:

Organization/Stores

The RT Server integration project includes a new parameter located in the Openbravo backoffice Organization window, named RT Server Store ID. This field will allow the user to enter an ID for a given organization/store. This Store ID will be used by the Initialized RT Adapter command. Store ID must be a four digits string.

Channel touchpoint/Terminals

The RT Server integration project includes a new parameter located in the Openbravo backoffice Channel Touchpoint window, named RT Server Terminal ID. This field will allow the user to enter an ID for a given terminal or till. This terminal or till ID will be used by the Initialized RT Adapter command. Terminal ID must be a four digits string.

It is important to remark that Store and Register/Till Ids (four digits each) enqueued represent the Register uuid, that is the ID used to identify the register (POS unit) on the RT Server. Register uuid must be printed in the tickets. Besides that, below listed new fields have been created to allow the communication between the terminals or tills of a given store and the corresponding RT-Adapter.

Payment Methods

RT-Server only understand below listed tender grouping:

Therefore, a new configuration parameter named RT-Server Payment Type has been created in the Payment Method tab of the backoffice window Channel Touchpoint Type. This new parameter allows to configure every payment method as either Cash, Electronic or Not Paid.

Taxes

The RT Server integration project includes a new parameter located in the Openbravo backoffice Tax Rate window, named VAT Indication Code, therefore it is possible to configure a VAT indication code for each tax rate created in Openbravo.

Besides that a new parameter has been added for those tax rates configured as Tax Exempt, therefore the corresponding VAT Exclusion Code can be selected for each exempt tax rate.

Payment rounding

This feature can be defined at touchpoint level, therefore it is possible to configure whether payment rounding needs to be managed or not for each payment method allowed on a channel touchpoint or terminal//till.

To see how to configure, check this documentation Retail:PaymentRounding
