A till ticket is not your invoice

The till ticket you are given when you pay is the simplified invoice of the person selling to you, not an invoice you issued. In the app, the POS daily summary groups sales by VAT rate and does not create invoices or touch your numbering.

Whose ticket it is

Royal Decree 1619/2012 and the Tax Agency’s note on simplified invoices fit that ticket: the shop issues it, with the reduced details. For you it is an expense, or someone else’s sale if you are on the other side of the counter and the ticket is yours. You do not number it on your issued-invoice series. If you sell through a POS, each ticket is your simplified invoice; the day’s close does not replace them or change their number.

  • Ticket received: the supplier’s invoice, not yours.
  • Ticket you issue at the till: that is your simplified invoice.
  • The daily summary does not open invoices or use numbers.

The close is not an invoice

Factura Fácil accepts the POS daily summary split by VAT rate. That close groups bases and tax. It does not issue an invoice per ticket or assign the next number in your series. Your invoices follow the numbering of the documents you issue.

Common questions

Do I put the supermarket ticket on my series?

No. It is the shop’s simplified invoice. In your account it is an expense, if you record it, not an invoice you issued.

Does the till close create invoices?

No. It groups the day’s sales by VAT rate. It does not touch the numbering of the invoices you issue.
