eTIMS straight from your till, no separate app
Every sale goes to KRA and the receipt prints with KRA's signature and QR code. No retyping invoices into the eTIMS portal, no second app on the counter.
What happens at the till
- The cashier finishes the sale as usual. Jensec POS sends it to KRA and waits a few seconds for the signature.
- The receipt prints with KRA's block: control unit number, invoice number, signature and a QR code the customer can scan to check the invoice with KRA.
- Internet down? The receipt prints at once and the invoice goes to KRA as soon as it answers. Sales are never held up.
- Returns become credit notes against the original invoice, as KRA requires.
- VAT letters match KRA's: A exempt, B 16%, C zero-rated, D non-VAT, E 8%.

||| S001-R01-000010 |||Everything else KRA needs, sent for you
A goods business must report more than sales. Jensec POS does it in the background, from what you already do at the till.
| What | When |
|---|---|
| Sales invoices & credit notes | Every sale and every return with receipt, numbered without gaps |
| Stock movements | Stock out with every sale, back in with every return, with the new stock level |
| Purchases | Every supplier delivery, with the supplier's KRA PIN and invoice number |
| Stock adjustments | Gains and losses from every stock count |
| Business customers | Customers with a KRA PIN: their PIN goes on their invoice so they can claim the expense |
| Products and users | Registered with KRA the first time they are used |
| From KRA to you | KRA code lists and item classes daily; invoices from your eTIMS suppliers and imported goods hourly |
Anything KRA refuses is listed in Reports → KRA eTIMS invoices with KRA's reason, so nothing is lost.
eTIMS applies to every business
VAT-registered shops map their tax groups to KRA's tax types once. Businesses that are not VAT-registered send everything as D (non-VAT). Either way the cashier does nothing extra.
eTIMS questions
Does it work with KRA eTIMS?
Yes. Jensec POS connects system-to-system with KRA eTIMS (OSCU). Every sale is sent to KRA and the receipt carries KRA's signature and QR code. Returns go as credit notes, and stock movements, supplier purchases and business customers' KRA PINs are reported automatically. Jenipher Security Limited is completing KRA's integrator approval: ask us about your eTIMS start date.
I am not VAT-registered. Do I need eTIMS?
eTIMS applies to all businesses. Non-VAT businesses send their invoices with tax type D (non-VAT), and Jensec POS handles that for you.
What if KRA is slow or the internet is down?
The sale is never held up. The receipt prints at once and the invoice is sent to KRA as soon as it answers. A signed copy can be reprinted from the journal.
Is it suitable for VAT-registered businesses?
Yes. Prices can include or exclude VAT, and receipts show VAT with KRA's tax letters (A exempt, B 16%, C zero-rated, E 8%), matching the eTIMS invoice.
