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/>`_.
|
|
|
|
**As of December 2015, due to Belgian government restriction, the
|
|
certification is only valid for Odoo Online instances.**
|
|
|
|
Required hardware
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
* A government certified `Fiscal Data Module
|

|
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
|
|

|
|
* Serial-to-USB adapter per FDM (`example

Setup
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
POSBox
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
In order to setup the blackbox, you will first have to ensure that the
|
|
POSBoxes you're using have a recent image on them (support for the FDM
|
|
was added to the POSBox image on the 10th of December 2015). See
|
|
:doc:`../overview/setup` on how to upgrade the POSBox. 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 is turned into a certified POS 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 POSBox associated with
|
|
it (:menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Configuration --> Point of Sale`
|
|
and ensure Hardware Proxy / 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.

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
