Create a FinanzOnline user for the register

The STRYK cash register signs in to FinanzOnline with a user of its own. You create it once in FinanzOnline and enter it in STRYK; this takes about five minutes.

What you can do safely afterwards

The step “FinanzOnline user for the register” in STRYK shows a check mark, and “Set up register” can be selected.

What you need before starting

Access to FinanzOnline with your main user, i.e. the user that may create other users. Without it, your tax adviser can create the user.
In STRYK you need the right to manage the finance settings; saving is confirmed with a renewed sign-in.

Two FinanzOnline users, two purposes

The VAT return and the cash register use different FinanzOnline users. The VAT return uses a web service user with the rights „Fileupload“ and „DataBox“; it stays as it is. The register needs a user of the type „Registrierkassen-Webservice“, which may only register cash registers and check receipts.

Which user does what

User type	Used for	Entered in STRYK under

Common mistakes and the right solution

Problem

FinanzOnline rejects the sign-in.

Solution

Check that the user type is „Registrierkassen-Webservice“ and that participant ID, user ID and PIN are typed correctly.

Problem

The VAT web service user was entered.

Solution

That user cannot register cash registers. Create a separate user of the type „Registrierkassen-Webservice“ and enter it with “Change”.

Problem

The PIN is forgotten.

Solution

Set a new PIN for the user in FinanzOnline under „Admin“ and enter it again in STRYK with “Change”.
