fiskaly Dashboard Manual

The detailed Dashboard manual is available on the fiskaly developer website.

Management API

Via the Management API you can also solve all functions of the Dashboard programmatically. Only the first main organisation has to be created via the Dashboard. The detailed documentation of the interface functions with their parameters can be found on the fiskaly developer website.  In the Management API, the terms Organisation are used for main organisation and Managed Organisation for managed organisation.

Organisations and user rights

In the fiskaly system, a distinction is made between main organisations and managed organisations. What the difference is and how this affects user rights is described below. All information about the organisations can be found on the fiskaly developer website or in the Dashboard user manual.

What is a main organisation?

A main organisation is an authoritative unit in the fiscal system. It usually represents a holding, business or branch office. Main organisations can be created free of charge via the dashboard. Managed organisations (in the fiskaly system: managed organizations) can be attached to them. Managed organisations can also be managed via the main organisation. In the organisation management, additional organisations can be created, information can be viewed, the organisation can be switched to live mode, an organisation logo can be stored, users can be organised, API keys can be created for the main organisation and API keys can be created for the managed organisations.

Important: A main organisation cannot be a managed organisation of another main organisation.

User rights in the main organisation

Users of the main organisation, as well as persons invited to the main organisation, have access to all information displayed in the dashboard of the main organisation as well as to the information of the attached managed organisation(s) of this main organisation. I.e. overview dashboard, TSS number(s), client(s), transactions, exports, integrations etc. are displayed to the users. fiskaly user rights

What is a managed organisation?

The managed organisation is dependent on its superior main organisation and can never stand alone. It must always be subordinate to a main organisation. Managed organisations are given the badge "managed". They can also be created via the dashboard. create organisation

User rights in the managed organisation

Users who are activated for the managed organisation only have access to the information of the respective managed organisation. The users have no insight into the information of the super-ordinate main organisation. Within the managed organisation, users have access to the dashboard and all the information stored there.

How to create a managed organisation

In the Dashboard, in the menu item Settings > Organisation Management, click on the button Create new organisation and select the box Create managed organisation. Then specify under which main organisation this managed organisation should be created.

Under this link you will find how to create the managed organisation via the Management API. Make sure that the ManagedOrganisation button is selected. create managed organisation

Difference between a main organisation and a managed organisation

In the fiscaly system, a distinction is made between main organisations and managed organisations. Managed organisations are dependent on the main organisation. They cannot themselves contain any other managed organisations. Similarly, a main organisation cannot be a managed organisation of another main organisation. It is important to know that the user rights of main organisations and managed organisations differ.

Difference in user rights in main and managed organisations

Users of main organisations or managed organisations have access to the information displayed in the dashboard of the respective organisation. The user rights within the main organisation and the managed organisation differ in that users of the main organisation also have access to the information of the respective linked managed organisations. Users of the managed organisations, however, do not have access to the information of the parent main organisation.

API Keys

At least one API key must be created at the organisation level.

Via the dashboard in the menu item Developer > API Key click on the button Create API Key and select a name for the new API Key. Then select Create. new API key Attention: the API Secret is only displayed immediately after the creation of a new API Key! new API key 2 API Keys can also be generated via the Management API.

The API key of the main organisation can be used to manage the managed organisations. A separate API key must be created for each managed organisation in order to create a TSS for it and to use the other functionalities of the fiskaly SIGN API. API Keys for main organisations must be created via the Dashboard or the Management API. For managed organisations, API Keys can be generated automatically.

An API Key is bound to an organisation and to the selected mode (Test/Live). This means that each API key can only be used for its own organisation. Exception: API Keys of a main organisation can be used for the respective managed organisations.

If the API key was created in test mode, it can only(!) be used to create entities for test purposes. With a key created in live mode, only(!) live entities can be produced. I.e. in a live organisation, further managed organisations can be created with the live API key, so that each managed organisation does not have to be switched individually to live mode.

On the fiskaly developer page you can find all information about the API Keys here. fiskaly API keys English

Billing options

There are two ways to control the billing:

Bill_to_Organisation

With the Bill_to_Organisation option, the bill is sent to the main organisation and can also be viewed via the dashboard.

Withhold Billing

With the Withhold Billing option, the bill is not made to this managed organisation and can also not be viewed via the dashboard. For example, the fiskaly TSS can be sold as part of a checkout package without your customer seeing the price of the fiskaly TSS.

On the fiskaly developer page, all Information on Billing can be found here. fiskaly Info about Billing
