What is the GoBD?
GoBD means: "The principles of proper management and storage of books, records and documents in electronic form and for data access". These are administrative directives of the Federal Ministry of Finance of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The GoBD have been in force since 01.01.2015 and have thus replaced the previously valid GDPdU ("Principles of Data Access and Verifiability of Digital Documents") and the GoBS ("Principles of Proper Computerized Accounting Systems").In plain language, this means that all bookings that occur in the company must be recorded individually, completely, correctly, timely and in an orderly manner. The rule is that no entry may be made without a receipt! Every business transaction must be traceable by means of a document. In addition, the documents must contain a unique document number, a document date, an amount and quantity information and the document issuer and recipient.

TSE obligation
- Timely recording: For , this means non-cash transactions within 10 days of the transaction taking place. Cash receipts and payments must be recorded daily. This principle applies in order to prevent manipulation by postponing entries over time.
- Unchangeability of documents: The GoBD guidelines require a continuous log chain of documents, basic records and postings. This means that the original content of a document must be recognizable at any time of storage. In addition, all changes and deletions must be fully documented to prevent overwriting or forgery. In addition, it must not be possible to subsequently change the change history.
- Retention obligation: All accounting-relevant data must be saved in digital form for 10 years and made available to tax offices in the appropriate form. It is also important to keep them until the retention period expires; they must not be deleted! Each document must also be provided with a unique and traceable index under which the document is managed.

Everyone who owns a cash register or a digital cash register system is affected by the TSE obligation. Only small businesses that operate an open store cash register have been exempt from the TSE obligation up to now.
In our feature packages, a cloud TSE is included in the package, which means that you will not incur any additional costs for the cloud TSE and you will not need to purchase a TSE module. Only in special cases a TSE module is required. You can find the TSE module in our online store.
If your store does not have a secure and constant internet connection, a TSE module would be required so that you can ensure that all TSE data can be properly backed up.
