Fiji E-Invoicing Support: Managing SDC Connectivity & Sales Data with Hike POS
Fiji E-Invoicing Support: Managing SDC Connectivity & Sales Data with Hike POS
In the Fiji VAT Monitoring System (VMS), an SDC (Sales Data Controller) is the central system that receives and validates fiscal data from registered businesses. To ensure full compliance with Fiji’s e‑invoicing regulations, Hike POS has been designed to handle SDC connectivity interruptions while maintaining strict data integrity. This article explains how Hike manages offline sales, Fiscalizes data, and protects fiscal invoice information received from the SDC.
Handling SDC Connectivity Interruptions:
Hike POS supports continuous business operations, even when the connection to the SDC (Sales Data Controller) is unavailable.
Offline Sales Processing:
If the SDC is not connected, Hike POS will still allow a sale to be completed. Your business operations will not be interrupted due to network or SDC downtime.

Automatic Fiscalize Options: Once the connection to the SDC is restored, Hike provides an option to Fiscalize all outstanding sales to the SDC. This ensures that all fiscal data is transmitted to the tax authority without requiring manual re‑entry.
Visibility of UnFiscalized Sales:
Users must monitor which sales have not yet been sent to the SDC. Hike POS provides clear visibility through the following features:
In the screenshot below, you can see the unfiscalized sales in Red. When you click on the option, you can Fiscalize/fiscalize the sale.

Cash Register total: Hike also provides the option to check the total value of unfiscalized sales directly in the cash register. This allows staff and managers to quickly check the Fiscalize total of any given register.
Ongoing Monitoring:
While sales are always permitted, users can continuously verify whether the SDC is connected and confirm that each sale has been successfully fiscalized.

Data Integrity & Invoice Response Rules
Hike POS enforces strict rules regarding information received from the SDC to ensure full compliance with Fiji’s VMS e‑invoicing standards.
No Omission or Editing of SDC Responses:
Hike POS will not allow you to omit or edit any piece of information received as an invoice response from an SDC. All data elements returned by the Sales Data Controller are considered immutable fiscal records and must be preserved exactly as received.
No Updates to Completed Sales:
To further protect fiscal data integrity, Hike does not allow updating a completed sale in any environment (online or offline). Once a sale is finalised and marked as complete:
1. The sale cannot be edited.
2. The sale cannot be updated.
No changes can be made to the transaction details.
Fiscal Invoice Requirements
To ensure full traceability and compliance, every fiscal invoice generated by Hike POS for the Fijian market will include:
All SDC Response Data:
Every piece of data sent as a response from the SDC (Sales Data Controller) will be included in the Hike sales fiscal invoice.
