The certification restriction is gone. Some things have changed in the process because of this. The main change is that we'll now provide registered POSBoxes instead of registering Odoo instances.

Setting up the Fiscal Data Module with the Odoo POS
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The Belgian government requires certain businesses to use a
|
|
government-certified device called a **Fiscal Data Module** (also
|
|
known as a **blackbox**). This device works together with the POS
|
|
application and logs certain transactions. On top of that, the used
|
|
POS application must also be certified by the government and must
|
|
adhere to strict standards specified by them. `Odoo 9 is a certified
|
|
application
|
|
<http://www.systemedecaisseenregistreuse.be/systemes-certifies>`_. More
|
|
information concerning the Fiscal Data Module can be found on `the
|
|
official website <http://www.systemedecaisseenregistreuse.be/>`_.
|
|
|
|
Required hardware
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
* A government certified `Fiscal Data Module
|
|
<http://www.systemedecaisseenregistreuse.be/systemes-certifies#FDM%20certifiés>`_
|
|
per POS, all of them should work, but the Cleancash SC-B is
|
|
recommended, you will also need:
|
|
|
|
* Serial null modem cable per FDM (`example
|
|
<http://www.startech.com/Cables/Serial-Parallel-PS-2/DB9-DB25/10-ft-Cross-Wired-Serial-Null-Modem-Cable-DB9-FM~SCNM9FM>`__)
|
|
* Serial-to-USB adapter per FDM (`example
|
|
<http://trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=265_TU-S9>`__)
|
|
|
|
* A registered POSBox per POS configuration

Setup
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
POSBox
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
In order to use a Fiscal Data Module, you will need a registered
|
|
POSBox. These POSBoxes are similar to the regular POSBoxes we sell,
|
|
but they are registered with the Belgian government. This is required
|
|
by law. Attempting to use a Fiscal Data Module on a non-registered
|
|
POSBox will not work. You can verify that the Fiscal Data Module is
|
|
recognized by the POSBox by going to the *Hardware status page* via
|
|
the POSBox homepage.

|
|
Odoo
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
An Odoo POS app can be given certified POS capabilities by installing
|
|
the **Belgian Registered Cash Register** app (technical name:
|
|
``pos_blackbox_be``). Because of government restrictions imposed on
|
|
us, this installation cannot be undone. After this, you will have to
|
|
ensure that each POS configuration has a unique registered POSBox
|
|
associated with it (:menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Configuration
|
|
--> Point of Sale` and ensure Hardware Proxy / POSBox and the serial
|
|
number of your POSBox is set). The first time you open the Point of
|
|
Sale and attempt to do a transaction, you will be asked to input the
|
|
PIN that you received with your VAT signing card.

|
On-premise
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
We do not only support the Fiscal Data Module on our SaaS platform, we
|
|
also support the Fiscal Data Module in on-premise installations. The
|
|
main restriction is that this requires an obfuscated version of the
|
|
``pos_blackbox_be`` module we will provide on request.
|
|
|
|
Restrictions
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
As mentioned before, in order to get certified the POS application
|
|
must adhere to strict government guidelines. Because of this, a
|
|
certified Odoo POS has some limitations not present in the
|
|
non-certified Odoo POS.
|
|
|
|
* Refunding is disabled
|
|
* Modifying orderline prices
|
|
* Creating/modifying/deleting POS orders
|
|
* Selling products without a valid tax
|
|
* Multiple Odoo POS configurations per POSBox are not allowed
|
|
* Using the POS without a connection to the POSBox (and thus FDM)
|
|
* Blacklisted modules: pos_discount, pos_reprint, pos_loyalty
