That\u2019s right! The legislator has defined it very simply for the cash register manufacturer in the Finance Act of 2016 and also in the subsequent clarifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All data must be in plain text. There is no exact format, for example, specific data fields or data formats, nor defined file formats, except that they must be non-proprietary.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is clearly defined as \u201cnon-proprietary\u201d. This means that formats such as pdf, xlsx or docx aren\u2019t permissible. On the other hand, csv, txt or JSON are permitted because these formats can be read by any computer without any additional software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In its simplicity, the French legislator is very clear: everything must be included!<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, this \u201ceverything\u201d has a reference point. It must contain all the data that make the cash operations traceable. So all document data, also the single lines, all periodic closings and all other documents which would change the cash balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here the legislator sets only an upper limit: it may not contain more than 365 days and no more. However, it does not prohibit the creation of several smaller archives, for example monthly archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They adopt the rules of the legislator and verify their compliance, but they do not extend them. But the verification must include a description of the archive and a way to verify the integrity of the archive. And here it already becomes difficult, because these two points must be created in addition to the POS system and the conformity. With fiskaltrust.Middleware you are covered here, because it is \u201cCompliance-as-a-Service\u201d! You can get both at any time, here on the fiskaltrust website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legislators and certification bodies agree on this. In the event of a financial audit of a cash register operator, the operator must provide proof of compliance with the law. And right after that he must present the required fiscal archives. If he has not yet created them or has not secured them, he must provide the auditor with instructions in French on how to make the archives available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And at the same time, this instruction must include an explanation of the archive. What is the structure of the archive, what data is contained, what do the individual data fields mean and much more. This is exactly what is included in the documentation of fiskaltrust. In addition, we explain the contents of an archive in easy-to-follow examples. This makes the control easy, calm and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like the receipt chain<\/a>, the archives must be protected. On the one hand, the archive document itself must be protected against manipulation. On the other hand, this also applies to the archive, to the physical file itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The simplest way of security for archives is retention. For fiscal archives, as for all accounting data, the retention requirement is 6 years plus the current fiscal year. The treasury operator must ensure this. He must store the created data and\/or archives in such a way that they cannot be deleted, destroyed, stolen or otherwise disappear. Of course, this can hardly be ensured by the cash register manufacturer; he can only point this out to the retailer and\/or operator. However, there is a solution with the fiskaltrust.ArchiveAuditable! Here, the archive data is stored for 6 years in addition to the current year in an audit-proof memory outside the POS system. The best way to protect the archives from loss is to simply store them outside with a third party. Just think how fast a hard disk can be corrupted, a USB stick is lost or the whole POS system is defective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The POS operator is obliged to ensure the completeness of the archive data. The data contained is provided by the POS system and should be complete, this is the responsibility of the POS manufacturer. But every single archive must be available in chronological order, the POS operator is responsible for that. Here, too, a mishap can happen quickly! Just once forgetting to save the archive to the USB stick or using two different sticks and one disappears, or, or, or\u2026 Here, too, there are enough possibilities for mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is exactly what the law requires! There must be a tool that checks the contents of the archive and reports any existing errors. This tool must be provided by the cash register manufacturer and\/or the cash register operator during a cash register audit. It must be easy to use, in French and instructions in French must also be provided to the auditor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is another area where fiskaltrust can assist. With the archiving of fiskaltrust, the tool from the website can also be used. It is available free of charge and fulfils all requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n We look forward to discussing with you the solutions that fiskaltrust offers to help your business. <\/p>\n \n \n We are Simplifying Complexity: <\/span>\n Contact us <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n C’est vrai le législateur l’a défini très simplement pour le fabricant de caisses dans la loi de finances de 2016 et aussi dans les clarifications suivantes :<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toutes les données doivent être disponibles en texte clair. Il n’y a pas de format précis, par exemple certains champs de données ou formats de données, ni de formats de fichiers définis, sauf si le format ne doit pas être propriétaire.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Il est clairement défini comme « non propriétaire ». Ainsi, des formats comme pdf, xlsx ou docx ne sont pas autorisés. En revanche, les formats csv, txt ou JSON sont acceptés, car ils peuvent être lus par n’importe quel ordinateur sans aucun logiciel supplémentaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dans sa simplicité, le législateur français est très clair : tout doit y figurer !<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ce « tout » a toutefois un point de référence. Toutes les données qui permettent de retracer les opérations de la caisse doivent y figurer. Donc toutes les données des documents, même les lignes individuelles, toutes les clôtures périodiques et tous les autres documents qui modifient le solde de caisse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le législateur ne fixe ici qu’une limite supérieure : il ne doit pas y avoir plus de 365 jours. Ni plus ni moins. Mais il n’interdit pas de créer plusieurs archives plus petites, par exemple des archives mensuelles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elles reprennent les règles du législateur et vérifient leur respect, mais ne les étendent pas. Mais lors de la vérification, il doit y avoir une description de l’archive et un outil de vérification de l’intégrité de celles-ci. Et c’est là que les choses se compliquent déjà, car ces deux points doivent être établis en plus du système POS et de la conformité. Avec le fiskaltrust.Middleware, vous êtes assuré d’être en conformité, car c’est « Compliance-as-a-Service » ! Vous pouvez obtenir les deux à tout moment sur le site web de fiskaltrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le législateur et les autorités de certification sont d’accord sur ce point. Si un contrôle financier est effectué chez un utilisateur de caisse, celui-ci doit apporter la preuve de sa conformité à la loi. Et juste après, il doit présenter les archives fiscales exigées. S’il ne les a pas encore créées ou sauvegardées, il doit remettre à l’auditeur des instructions en français sur la manière de mettre les archives à disposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Et en même temps, ces instructions doivent contenir une explication des archives. Quelle est la structure de l’archive, quelles sont les données qu’elle contient, que signifient les différents champs de données et bien plus encore. C’est exactement ce que contient la documentation de fiskaltrust. De plus, nous expliquons le contenu d’une archive à l’aide d’exemples facilement compréhensibles. Ainsi, le contrôle peut se faire de manière simple, sereine et sans problème.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe format of the fiscal archive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
