SIGN PT - How are series and document numbers handled?

  • Updated

The number printed on a document is the official sequential number returned by SIGN PT.

Numbers

  • The official sequential number is assigned by SIGN PT and returned in the field compliance.data. This is the number to print. The document.number sent in the request is mainly for your own tracking.
  • The printed identifier is the document type, a space, the series, a "/" (slash) and the number, for example FT A/1234.
  • The ATCUD is the AT validation code of the series, a hyphen and the sequential number.
  • We recommend zero-padded numbers, for example FS POS/00005.
  • Send documents in the order they are issued because SIGN PT assigns the number when it receives the document.

Series

  • A series is registered with the AT automatically when the first document of a new series and document type is issued. The taxpayer can also register it in advance.
  • There is no limit on the number of series.
  • Several terminals can issue into one series, but the numbering must stay strictly sequential. We recommend one series per terminal.
  • When changing software, the common practice is a new series starting at 1.
  • If long series names make the printed identifier unwieldy, shorten the series names.
