- Under GKS 2.0, negative transactions must be treated differently depending on the business event: refund, correction, voucher adjustment, or substitution are not the same.
- A refund is used when a completed sale is later reversed, such as a return or cancellation after the fiscal receipt has already been issued.
- A refund receipt must reference the original fiscal document to link it to the earlier sale.
- A correction is used only for internal input errors made before the transaction is completed and before final payment.
- The key distinction is: completed transaction reversed = refund; open transaction error fixed = correction.
