Create a new receipt

Build a receipt on the device — add line items, pick the VAT rate and department, choose a payment method, then preview and print.

The New Receipt screen is where you build a receipt by hand: type a line item, pick a VAT rate and department, repeat for each product, then choose a payment method and tap Preview & Print. The screen finalises the receipt and hands off to the Preview & Print screen, which talks to the fiscal printer.

Open the New Receipt screen

You can open New Receipt from two places:

From the Receipts tab, tap the + New button (or the floating action button).
From the Home tab, tap the New Receipt tile.

If you backed out of a previous receipt without tapping Cancel, the draft is still in memory and the screen reopens exactly where you left it. To start fresh, tap Cancel at the bottom of the screen first.

Add line items

The Add item card has five fields:

Field	Default	Notes
Item name	empty	Free text. Required.
Quantity	`1`	Numeric. Must be greater than 0.
Price	empty	Numeric, in lei. Must be greater than 0.
VAT rate	`21%`	Pick from `0%`, `9%`, `11%`, `21%`.
Department	`1`	Pick from `1` to `9`.

Type the item name

Tap the Name field and type what the customer is buying. The name prints on the fiscal receipt exactly as you type it.

Set quantity and price

The quantity defaults to 1 — change it for bulk lines. Enter the unit price in lei (use a dot for decimals, e.g. 12.50).

Pick the VAT rate

Tap one of the four chips: 0%, 9%, 11%, or 21%. These are the VAT rates allowed by the Romanian Fiscal Code (standard 21%, intermediate 11%, reduced 9%, and zero rate). The screen does not guess — pick the right rate for the product.

Pick the department

Tap a department number from 1 to 9. Most fiscal printers map these to physical buttons on the device.

Tap Add item

The line drops into the cart below. The name, quantity, and price fields reset for the next line. The VAT chip and department chip stay selected, so you can keep punching items at the same rate without re-tapping.

If you tap Add item with an empty name, a zero quantity, or a zero price, the app shows a validation alert and does not add the line. Fix the field and try again.

Review the cart

Once you have one or more items, an Items (n) section appears below the form. Each line shows:

The item name.
A details line: quantity × unit price = line total (in lei).
Two badges: VAT % and Dept #.
A Remove button.

The Total at the bottom is the gross sum of all lines. Per-VAT-rate breakdowns appear later, on the Preview & Print screen.

Remove deletes the line immediately, with no confirmation. Re-add it if you tap by mistake.

Choose payment method

The Payment card appears once the cart has at least one item. You pick:

Method — one of Cash, Card, or Voucher. Cash is selected by default.
Amount — the cash or card amount tendered, in lei. Leave it blank to use the cart total exactly.

Each receipt carries a single payment. Split payments (part cash, part card) are not supported on this screen.

If you enter an amount lower than the total, the app blocks Preview with an Insufficient Payment alert. Overpayment is accepted, but the change is not displayed back — count it out yourself.

Preview and print

Tap Preview & Print at the bottom of the screen. The app:

Validates the cart

If the cart is empty, you see No Items — Add at least one item before proceeding.

Validates the payment

If the entered amount is less than the cart total, you see Insufficient Payment — Payment amount must be at least {total} lei.

Finalises the receipt

The draft becomes a finalised receipt and the app navigates to Preview & Print, where you confirm and send it to the fiscal printer.

Cancel a receipt

The Cancel button at the bottom of the screen discards every line item and the chosen payment, then returns you to the previous screen. There is no confirmation prompt — one tap and the draft is gone.

If you instead use the system back gesture or the hardware back button, the draft survives in memory and reopens the next time you open New Receipt. Use Cancel when you want a clean slate.

Drafts live only in the app's memory. If you force-stop or kill the app before tapping Preview & Print, the draft is lost.

Pick the right Romanian VAT rate

Rate	When to use
21%	Standard rate — most goods and services. Default chip.
11%	Intermediate rate (effective from the 2025 fiscal reform) — covers items moved to this band by law.
9%	Reduced rate — basic foodstuffs, medicines, books, hotel accommodation, and other items listed in the Fiscal Code.
0%	Zero-rate — exports and other zero-rated supplies.

When in doubt, check the latest Codul Fiscal or ask your accountant.

Continue to the next step

Preview & Print — confirm the receipt and send it to the fiscal printer.
Receipts tab — list of finalised receipts on the device.
