Select Maintenance > Hardware > Fiscal Devices to access this function.

Fiscal devices enable your company to comply with certain governmental fiscal reporting requirements. To ensure that consumption taxes, where applicable, get recorded and reported, you can configure Aloha POS terminals to pass sales data through a sales recording module (SRM) which provides SRM-generated receipts to your customers. The SRM intercepts the data and adds a fiscal transaction ID and bar code to the bottom of each receipt. The SRM keeps a record and then produces periodic sales summary reports to comply with government regulations.
