It is therefore a question of the form of data preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can retailers do to prepare?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kaup:<\/strong> I recommend involving your cash registry\u2019s manufacturer in your planning process to ensure that the implementation of cash register security regulations is even possible. Another important aspect to consider are the standardized digital interfaces. Not only do retail companies sometimes have to worry about fees if they do not comply, they also have tothink about how to integrate their new and improved cash register systems in their existing SAP financial accounting systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does only the tax office ultimately benefit from a quick audit option?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kaup: <\/strong>In my opinion, just focusing on your cash register is not enough. As part of my job, I talk to retail companies every day. While trying to implement the new guidelines, companies often come to realize that they are not even in compliance with existing regulations concerning their financial accounting systems! Companies have to thinka head, which is why Consult-SK offers an SAP add-on called Receipt4S which takes care of historizing and managing all relevant cash register data in SAPand non-SAP systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the solution is also capable of archiving andrecording changes as well as providing data for audits. The prerequisite to useour SAP retail solution: NetWeaver with an Abap stack. Module-specific components are not necessary as it is based on ArchiveLink. Furthermore, retail companies do not have to worry about SAP\u2019s deadline, extended or not: Receipt4Sis available on R\/3 and S\/4 Hana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thank you for the interview.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/partners\/consult-sk-gmbh\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/SK-Consult-CI-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/partners\/consult-sk-gmbh\/\" class=\"wp-image-65672\" title=\"How will retailers remain legally compliant from 2020?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/SK-Consult-CI-Banner.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/SK-Consult-CI-Banner-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/SK-Consult-CI-Banner-100x11.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/SK-Consult-CI-Banner-480x54.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/SK-Consult-CI-Banner-640x72.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/SK-Consult-CI-Banner-720x81.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/SK-Consult-CI-Banner-960x108.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cash register security regulations in retail are nothing new, but there are ever more laws and guidelines being implemented, and some questions about them are yet to be answered.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":54440,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,37393,161],"tags":[],"coauthors":[19920],"class_list":["post-65670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sap-nachrichten","category-mag-2003","category-szene","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"featured_image_urls_v2":{"full":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",400,180,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-768x346.jpg",768,346,true],"large":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"image-100":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-100x45.jpg",100,45,true],"image-480":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-480x216.jpg",480,216,true],"image-640":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-640x288.jpg",640,288,true],"image-720":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-720x324.jpg",720,324,true],"image-960":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-960x432.jpg",960,432,true],"image-1168":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"image-1440":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"image-1920":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"trp-custom-language-flag":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",18,8,false],"bricks_large_16x9":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"bricks_large":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"bricks_large_square":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",1000,450,false],"bricks_medium":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",600,270,false],"bricks_medium_square":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview.jpg",600,270,false],"profile_24":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-24x24.jpg",24,24,true],"profile_48":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-48x48.jpg",48,48,true],"profile_96":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-96x96.jpg",96,96,true],"profile_150":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"profile_300":["https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/interview-300x300.jpg",300,300,true]},"post_excerpt_stackable_v2":"<p>KassenSichV, TSE, DSFinV-K \u2013 das sind Schlagworte, die im Einzelhandel derzeit Fragen aufwerfen.
