Step-by-step guide on imple­men­ting the KassenSichV

The first step is to define the rele­vant busi­ness tran­sac­tions recor­ded by your elec­tro­nic record­ing system. Busi­ness tran­sac­tions are all legal and eco­no­mic tran­sac­tions that docu­ment or alter the profit, loss or asset com­po­si­ti­on in a com­pa­ny in a given period of time.

Simply put, you need to define the fol­lowing points:

• when does the busi­ness ope­ra­ti­on start
• what ope­ra­ti­ons can change the tran­sac­tion data
• which ope­ra­ti­ons have a posi­ti­ve impact on asset com­po­si­ti­on of the company
• which ope­ra­ti­ons have a nega­ti­ve impact on asset com­po­si­ti­on of the company
• which ope­ra­ti­ons end the tran­sac­tion posi­tively (e.g. payment)
• which ope­ra­ti­ons end the tran­sac­tion nega­tively (e.g. pay­ment cancellation)

Examp­les of busi­ness tran­sac­tions that may occur in elec­tro­nic record­ing sys­tems include:

• input/ output sales
• sub­se­quent can­cel­la­ti­on of a receipt
• tip
• vou­chers (genera­ting and redemp­ti­on of vouchers)
• pri­va­te money with­dra­wals and pri­va­te deposits
• change amount booking
• salary pay­ment from the cash regis­ter as well as
• money trans­fer
