Fiscalization and POS,term by term.
The terms that appear on receipts, in reports and in conversations with your accountant — explained briefly and precisely, as they apply in Kosovo. Each term links to the page where you can see it in action.
01
SEF — Electronic Fiscal Software
The ATK-certified program that fiscalizes the sale inside the system itself.
A SEF records the sale, signs it digitally and sends it to ATK straight from the program, with no extra fiscal device. For a program to be called a SEF, ATK’s commission evaluates and certifies it and lists it in the public register. Kendrix POS is a certified SEF (no. 812113983327).

Fiscalization (online)
Registering every sale with ATK at the moment it happens.
In online fiscalization the receipt gets its fiscal numbers from ATK and the verification QR code in real time. Without internet, the receipt prints marked OFFLINE and is sent automatically once the connection returns.

Fiscal receipt
The receipt issued by a SEF, carrying ATK’s numbers and a QR code.
Besides items, quantities, prices and VAT by rate, a fiscal receipt carries the business details (NUI), the fiscal number NIVF, the verification number NUIKF and the QR code with which the customer verifies the receipt on ATK’s site.
See it in practice04
NIVF
The fiscal number ATK returns for every registered receipt.
At the moment of sale the SEF sends the receipt to ATK and receives the NIVF, which is printed on the receipt. It proves the receipt was registered in ATK’s system.
See it in practice05
NUIKF
The verification number of the fiscal receipt, printed alongside the NIVF.
The NUIKF uniquely identifies the receipt and is used, together with the QR code, to verify it. In the Kendrix POS mobile app every receipt carries a NUIKF and a QR.

The receipt QR code
The code the customer scans to verify the receipt on ATK’s site.
The QR code links the printed receipt to its registration at ATK. Scanning it opens ATK’s verification page showing the receipt’s data — full transparency for the customer and for inspections.

X report
The interim summary of a shift, without closing it.
The X report shows sales totals, payments by method, VAT by rate and the cash position up to that moment. It can be produced any number of times during the day; it does not reset the figures.
See it in practice08
Z report
The closing report of the day or shift.
The Z report closes the period: final totals, payments, VAT by rate and the cash position. In Kendrix POS the X and Z reports meet ATK’s requirements and are produced in one click.

VAT rates (0%, 8%, 18%)
The three rates a fiscal receipt in Kosovo works with.
Every item or service carries its own VAT rate and the receipt splits the total by rate. Which rate applies to which goods is set by VAT legislation — ATK keeps the current list. In Kendrix POS the rates come preset according to ATK’s rules.

Fiscal cash register
The classic fiscal device with its own memory, the predecessor of the SEF.
A fiscal cash register is hardware: a till or printer with a fiscal module. A SEF is certified software that does the same job inside the point-of-sale program, on an ordinary computer with a receipt printer, and adds the verification QR code.

The OFFLINE queue
Where receipts wait when there is no internet, until they are sent to ATK.
When the connection drops, the receipt prints marked OFFLINE and joins a secure queue. As soon as the internet returns, Kendrix POS sends the queue to ATK by itself, within the legal deadlines, with no action from the cashier.

Sales book
The register of the period’s sales, the basis of the VAT return.
The sales book lists the period’s invoices and receipts with the base and VAT by rate. Kendrix ONE generates it from invoices and POS receipts and exports it in ATK’s Excel format.
See it in practice13
Purchase book
The register of purchase invoices, with deductible VAT.
The purchase book holds supplier invoices with their base and VAT. In Kendrix ONE, purchase invoices can be read from PDF or photo by Kendrix AI and the book exports in ATK’s Excel format.
See it in practice14
VAT return
The periodic return derived from the sales and purchase books.
The VAT return summarises VAT collected on sales and VAT deductible on purchases for the period. Kendrix ONE prepares it from the books and exports it in the official format — the accountant receives it ready.

EDI declaration (payroll)
The electronic format for the monthly payroll declaration.
Monthly payroll is declared in the EDI format. Kendrix ONE calculates pay from attendance and approved hours and prepares the EDI declaration for the accountant.
See it in practice16
NUI — Unique Identification Number
The business registration number, printed on every fiscal receipt.
The NUI identifies the business with ATK and the business registry and appears on receipts, invoices and in the SEF register. Kendrix Tech L.L.C.’s NUI is 812307975.
See it in practice17
POS — point of sale
The program (and devices) with which a sale is made at the till.
A POS program records items, payments, discounts and returns, prints the receipt and produces reports. When the POS is a certified SEF, the receipt is fiscal. Kendrix POS has restaurant, market, clinic and quick-sale modes.
See it in practice18
Return and cancellation
Corrections to a fiscal receipt, linked to the original receipt.
A return gives back specific items with a quantity and refund method; a cancellation voids the receipt with a mandatory reason. Both are linked to the original receipt and reported to ATK automatically.
See it in practice19
Register of certified SEF
ATK’s public list of every certified fiscal software.
The register shows the company name, SEF name, SEF number, version, type and certification date. It is where you verify whether the program you are offered is genuinely certified.
See it in practice20
ATK verification code
The code with which the certification decision is verified online.
ATK’s official notice of the evaluation result carries a verification code. For Kendrix POS the code is ATK-2026-58CDEA0E, checked on ATK’s verification page.
