System flags

System flags are basic settings of the ECR that largely influence correctness of cash register functions
(number of decimal places, system of numbers rounding, date, time, etc.).

Cumulated totals (Grand totals)

Cumulated totals are variables that cumulate the values from all sales. There are usually three known grand
totals: GT1, GT2, and GT3. Their meaning is as follows:
GT1 – gross turnover - this means the cumulated total of all positive values registered in the ECR
GT2 – net turnover - the net turnover means the difference between gross turnover and negative turnover
GT3 – negative turnover - this means the cumulated total of all negative values (refunds, discounts...)
registered in the ECR.

The dual display of prices, payments and other values is the depiction and introduction of prices simultane-
ously in the national currency as well as in the euro currency exclusively according to the fixed exchange
rate and other regulations for the changeover from national currency to the euro. Thus, prior to the day the

informational purposes, in euros, and from the day the euro is launched, including the day of its launch, sums
