What is the difference between the transaction schemas receipt (Kassenbeleg-V1) and order (Bestellung-V1)?

Tip

Last updated on 2024-11-26.

A receipt (Kassenbeleg-V1) transaction is used for short transactions when the payment is done immediately, for example in typical retail scenarios.

 

For long-lasting transactions, e.g. in gastronomy, order (Bestellung-V1) transactions should be used additionally.

 

Good examples and explanations of the different scenarios using order (Bestellung-V1) transactions can be found in Attachment H (Anhang H Erleichterungsregelungen) of the official DSFinV-K documents of the Federal Central Tax Office (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern) which can be downloaded here. Unfortunately, Attachment H is not included in the English translation of the document.
