4. Create internal transit account (clearing account)

The booking logic of the Tillhub POS system follows the current guidelines of the German Tax Advisors Association: The various revenue accounts are first posted to an internal transit account (transit account), while the internal transit account is posted to the cash register and non-cash payment methods (receivables accounts). This means that the export is a list of all sales per cash register closing: once per VAT rate and once per payment method. This also enables a clear separation of all sales per payment method in accordance with GoBD, especially for transactions where multiple payment methods were used. In addition, all cash register postings are listed against a deposit and expenditure account—including any difference posting that may have occurred in the cash register closing account.

It is therefore essential that you enter a non-income-affecting account for the internal transit account, such as 1371 for SKR03.

Where can I enter the account number for the internal transit account?

Navigate to “Settings” in the menu on the left and then to ‘Accounting’ in the submenu. In the empty field at the top right titled “Transit account,” you can enter your non-income-affecting account for the internal transit account of the Tillhub POS system.
