Context
UPCOMING The law „Kassensicherheitsverordnung“ has come into force in Germany on 01.01.2020. This law will require a digital signature for each order. Ticketing solutions have to comply with the new law as of 01.10.2020. SecuTix provides you all the features necessary to comply with this new law.
Solution
The solution integrates a module provided by EFSTA. This module has already been successfully integrated to comply with the Austrian law. This module will in turn call an external Technical Security Element (that will actually sign the data) provided by the Austrian company A-Trust. A-Trust is one of the major digital signature companies in Austria, in which country a law requiring digital signature of orders is in force since 1st of April 2017.
Document types with digital signature
SecuTix will print the digital signature in text form on following order documents:
- Order receipt
- Order summary
- Invoice
Getting started
- You will have to sign a contract with A-Trust. SecuTix may help you to get in touch with this company.
- A-Trust will provide you the credentials to be provided to the cloud based signature service. Please provide this information to SecuTix that will update the set-up accordingly
- Please perform following set-up in SecuTix:
- Ensure that your European VAT number has been entered. To do this, check that the administrative number "European VAT Code" has been entered (menu "Organization characteristics > administrative numbers"). This number has to start with "DE".
- Configure a new external manager plugin of type DE-KSV
- Add the digital signature to the document definition by adding following line:
- For invoices: {#showFiscalSignatureRestitution($document $document.invoice.orders.get(0))}
- For order summary and order receipt: {#showFiscalSignatureRestitution($document $document.order)}
- Check if other information needs to be added to the document (for example: operator, sales channel)
- SecuTix will set-up the EFSTA module
