Sell a Voucher

With the Voucher Management module active, bessa automatically creates the article group Vouchers and the article Voucher. You sell vouchers to your customers through this article — the Sales Point assigns a sequential number and prints a scannable receipt with an EAN13 barcode.

Post the voucher in the cart

  1. Post the Voucher article into the cart like any other article.

  2. Enter the value of the voucher in the prompt that appears.

×   Edit article                        ✓
    Name
    Voucher
    Price
    50
    Quantity
    1.0

  1. Close out the order as usual — see Close out and pay.

When paying, an additional voucher receipt with an EAN13 barcode is printed in addition to the invoice — give it to the customer. This code is used to find the voucher again when it is later redeemed.

Single-purpose vs multi-purpose voucher

Whether VAT is already due at the time of voucher sale depends on whether the supply and the applicable tax rate are already known at issuance — EU and Austrian VAT law distinguish between single-purpose and multi-purpose vouchers.

In bessa this is steered through the article group the voucher article belongs to:

  • Single-purpose voucher → in an article group with the matching tax rate (e.g. "Vouchers 10 %" for a food voucher).

  • Multi-purpose voucher → in an article group with 0 % tax (default of the "Vouchers" group auto-created when the module is licensed).

Full configuration guidance and accounting examples are in Article Types — Single-purpose vs multi-purpose voucher. The legal definition is in the glossary entry Voucher.

Never set up a multi-purpose voucher manually as a regular article. It would flow into the fiscal turnover counter at sale time — and the later redemption against a concrete product would cause double counting. Please consult your tax advisor for how to handle vouchers in your specific operation.

View, reprint, or revoke sold vouchers

With the Voucher Management module the Vouchers entry appears in the main menu:

🎁   Vouchers

The list shows every sold voucher with sequential number, sale date, and current remaining balance.

Tap a voucher to view its transactions (sale, top-ups, redemptions). Two actions are available at the bottom:

  • Print — reprint the voucher receipt, e.g. when the original was lost.

  • Delete — revoke the voucher (the remaining balance is invalidated). In accounting terms this is a void and should be used with care.

The magnifier icon in the top right lets you search for a voucher — either by typing the code or via a connected barcode reader.
