Cash sales: invoice or register receipt (nyugta)

STRYK does not issue receipts (nyugta) itself: you cover a cash sale with an invoice or with the receipt from your own cash register.

Hotels may not issue computer receipts in Hungary. Hotels that used the former daily report switch to invoice or online cash register; STRYK reports their remaining receipts to NAV until all are sent.

Common mistakes and the right solution

Problem

NAV access shows “Refused by NAV”.

Solution

Check user name, password and keys of the technical user in the Online Számla portal, choose “Change access” and save again.

Problem

The euro invoice cannot be issued because the rate is missing.

Solution

With the MNB rate type choose “Fetch rate now”; with a bank rate, record it yourself.

Problem

NTAK reports stay at “Details missing”.

Solution

Open the NTAK tasks and add the missing guest details; the task then closes itself.
