Installation

To install the module (an Openbravo Professional instance is needed because it is a commercial module):

Master data configuration

Fiscal printers store payments and taxes and each payment and tax stored in the fiscal printer have their own identifier. Openbravo for Retail needs to map Payment methods and Taxes to the payments and taxes stored in the fiscal printer.

Configure Payment Methods

For each payment method you must fill in the field Fiscal identifier. This value must match with the corresponding payment method in the fiscal printer.

This value must match with the corresponding tax stored in the fiscal printer. You must also verify that taxes calculation in Openbravo and in the fiscal printer are the same.

Configure fiscal printers

Read through the Hardware and Peripherals Guide to install and configure properly your fiscal printers.

Create the fiscal document templates

To define the fiscal documents template you must create a new module to define the templates that will be used. These templates are XML files that define the layout and logic of the fiscal documents. This Fiscal printers module provides in the /res folder samples for all these documents that can be used out of the box.

To create this module that includes the fiscal document templates you can follow the guide How to create and modify new receipt documents from other module. The reference for the fiscal documents schema can be found in the Receipt and Customer display documents document.

To use these default templates provided, just go to the Store window and in the Web POS Formats section select the fiscal templates. Note that these templates are sample templates. It is recommended to create your own templates adapted to your business requirements.
