The "ItemTypeClassification" property allows for further classification of items within a line item.

Currently, values can only be assigned to this property if the “ItemType” property has been set to "[0] - Article" or "ItemType": 0.

Purpose

Some countries require specific sales to be specified in more detail. In Lithuania, for example, the sale of alcoholic beverages and fuel must be shown separately. These fall under what are known as 'Special Goods Sales'.

Example Lithuania

Sales of special goods must be reported separately in Lithuania on the (Z) report (EndOfDay document):

• Number / Amount of 'special goods' sold
• Total sales amount

To ensure this, items that fall under the 'Special Goods' category must also be marked accordingly using the "ItemTypeClassification" property.

Products to be marked

Information on whether and which products in each country must be identified using the "ItemTypeClassification" property is specified in the "fiscalCountryProperties".

itemTypeClassificationRequired

The "itemTypeClassificationRequired" property specifies whether, in the relevant country, the "ItemTypeClassification" property must contain values for certain items.

In Lithuania, for example, this value is set to 'true'.

In countries where no specific labelling of certain products is required, this value is 'false'.

supportedItemTypeClassification

The "supportedItemTypeClassification" property specifies which products require special labelling.

Example:

In Lithuania, "ItemTypeClassification" has the following value:

"itemTypeClassificationRequired": true,

The following values are possible for "supportedItemTypeClassification":

"supportedItemTypeClassification": [
    "[1] = AlcoholicBeverage",
    "[10] = Petrol",
    "[11] = AutomotiveEthanolFuel",
    "[12] = DieselFuel",
    "[13] = FattyAcidMethylEster",
    "[14] = DesignatedDieselFuelForAgriculturalAndFisheryUse",
    "[15] = NaturalGasForTransport",
    "[16] = LiquefiedPetroleumGasForTransport",
    "[17] = FuelForTransportNotElsewhereClassified"
  ],

If an alcoholic drink is sold at a till in Lithuania, the following details must be included in the payload (within the relevant "positions"-object):

"ItemType": 0,
"ItemTypeClassification": 1,
