Clock PMS+ allows you to easily issue payment documents fiscalized in accordance with the local tax requirements of Germany. Clock PMS+ is a full cloud-native solution that can be used from different input devices under one Clock account, so all of the different devices it uses under one account are treated as one cash register (one Clock account per one cash register).
How does the fiscalization process work in Clock PMS+
Fiscalization - each fully paid folio/invoice (or selected fiscal document) will be fiscalized with the closure of the folio, specifying if the payment is CASH payment. Please see below how to determine which payment types will be considered CASH. Upon the successful fiscalization, the printed folio will have a QR code, start/end time of the fiscalization, "TSE-Transaktion", "ClientID", "KassenID", "TSE-Seriennummer", "TSE-Signatur", "TSE-Zeitformat", "TSE-Hashalgorithmus", "TSE-PublicKey".
Important: At 200 EUR, the small amount limit is reached which means that the buyers address must be present on the invoice. For this purpose, the fields country, city, street, and post code must be filled out.
Important: In case of an issue with the fiscalization process, the sale DOES NOT stop. The folio is closed without fiscalization, i.e. it is not fiscalized. Therefore you need to MANUALLY restart the fiscalization process within 48 hours. To do so, simply open the folio and use the 'Fiscalize' button, and then 'Print'.

Daily operations
- Discounts are actually charges and payments having a negative value. For the purposes of the fiscalization process, a discount is each negative value charge in a positive folio and it will be fiscalized as such one.
- Correction folios (debit or credit) are fiscalized, if the balance of the folio to be corrected is 0, i.e. the charges are equal to the payments. If the correction folio is closed before the balance of the master folio is 0 (also including the value of the correction), the correction won't be fiscalized automatically. First, a payment is to be posted to the master folio, followed by the manual initialization of the fiscalization process. Open the folio and use the "Fiscalize" button and "Print".
