Type of requests

Both the use case of a call (validate or send) and environment the solution is operating (development or production) have an effect on whether a filing is received and processed by the tax authorities. There are two environments available:

• development Intended for testing. The tax authorities do not process the transferred data.

• production Going live to production with the solution. Data is generally processed by the tax authorities.

The constellation of use cases and setting the environment results in the following four types of calls:

1 - Validating call in development environment

• The message is drafted locally. There is no data exchange with the tax authorities.

• Prints on protocol: Draft (black, German: „Entwurf“) and test case (red, German; „Testfall“)

2 - Sending call in development environment

• A test transmission to the tax office is performed. The message is sent, but it is not processed by the tax authorities.

• Prints on protocol: Test case (red, German; „Testfall“), date and time of transmission (German: "Sendedatum") and transfer ticket on the side

3 - Validating call in production environment

• Prints on protocol: Draft (black, German: „Entwurf“)

4 - Sending call in production environment

• A transmission to the tax office is performed. The message is sent and is processed by the tax authorities.
