DGAP-News: Vectron Systems AG: DATEV and Vectron cooperate for POS archive

Nürnberg/Münster, 25 June 2019: The IT service provider DATEV eG (DATEV) and the listed Vectron Systems AG (Vectron), which belongs to the largest European manufacturers of POS systems, have agreed to collaborate on POS data archiving. In the future, the transfer of data from the various cash register systems to the DATEV Kassenarchiv online will be automated and will also take place in the structure of the DFKA taxonomy cash register data. (DFKA = German professional association for cash register and accounting system technology). This will enable Vectron customers to transfer their POS data to DATEV's financial accounting solutions via an end-to-end digital process. For entrepreneurs, this will significantly reduce the manual effort involved in daily cash accounting. It will also make it easier for them to meet the legal requirements for orderly cash management.
 
Vectron is the market leader for POS systems in the German catering trade. Many catering businesses in Germany are clients of DATEV tax consultants who use DATEV solutions for financial accounting and business consulting. Vectron will therefore develop an interface to the DATEV Kassenarchiv online, via which the tax-relevant data from the POS systems can be transferred online via the DATEV Kassenarchiv online into the DATEV Kassenbuch online and thus into the DATEV systems for financial accounting. In order to implement this integration without media discontinuity, the partners use the data structure of the DFKA taxonomy cash register data. The digital data exchange between the systems relieves entrepreneurs of routine tasks, such as the manual post-entry of data, and the quality of the data increases. In future, Vectron customers can use the interface to the DATEV Kassenarchiv online for a monthly fee. This interface will become part of the Vectron digital offer, which will still be distributed through specialist dealers. 
 
Archiving cash register data in compliance with legal requirements
 
With the fulfillment of the GoBD* there is often still considerable need for action on the part of the enterprises, in particular with the revision-safe archiving of the cash register data for the entire duration of the legal retention period of currently ten years. With DATEV's Kassenarchiv online, companies can be sure that their cash data is archived in compliance with the law - especially against the background of the new legal situation that will apply from 01.01.2020. If required, the cash register data and other archived documents can be made available to the tax authorities from the DATEV Kassenarchiv. By using the DFKA taxonomy cash register data, the company can also simplify its own commercial processes and save valuable time.
 
The connection of Vectron POS systems to the DATEV computing centre is established via the Vectron Cloud platform. Both cooperation partners see their cooperation as a building block in their respective digital strategy, which aims at making the commercial processes of their customers digitally consistent.
 
*GoBD = German financial administration requirements to an IT-based accounting system
