Inside the EACCREG Portal ( POS Provider )

Let's all explore the portal of BIR EACCREG under the POS provider account. Yes! You read it correct under POS provider. We have 2 kinds:  POS Provider and Taxpayer.

For the mean time, I will let you see the content of BIR EACCREG portal under POS provider so you can compare the content of Taxpayer (on my next blog).

Upon logging in,  you will noticed some tabs below the logo of BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue).
Click Registration for Permit to Use > List of Registrations for Permit to Use > Encode Application.

This is the usual part where your POS provider file your POS machine(s) for you to have POS permit and on the next page you will see the complete POS application field by field - Application for Registration of Sales Machines.

We have 3 types of permit under EACCREG namely:
(a) POS provider - Final Permit
(b) Client/Taxpayer -  Provisional Permit
(c) Client/Taxpayer -  Special Purpose Machine Permit

 Once all the POS machine(s) has been added to the POS application. We need to include the details of Server Consolidator also or else we will encounter such an error [ see screenshot below ]

Once the POS application has been filed.
You will receive instruction on the next page [ see screenshot below ]
Your POS provider will take note of the generated transaction number and be given to their client/taxpayer for their reference and follow ups.

Your POS provider also download the PDF for both references [ see screenshot below ]

REMINDER: Be sure to provide the correct information to your POS provider like serial number, model and brand. To avoid any inconveniences on both end POS provider and taxpayer.

If ever something went wrong and only realize after POS application. POS provider has no control or power to recall a filed POS application. Client or taxpayer will visit their local RDO to inquire any possible requirements to be submitted in order to DENY your existing POS application.

Once denied, that's the only time your POS provider can re-file POS application.

Adding Branches in eAccReg: A Step-by-Step Guide

Passwords are essential for accessing your Electronic Accreditation and Registration (eAccReg) account, which you need to print your Permit to Use (PTU) for your Point of Sale (POS) machines.  However, managing passwords can become incredibly complex, especially if your business has multiple branches.  Imagine having to create and remember individual EACCREG accounts for each branch, starting from branch code 000 up to 100, and potentially even more! That's a lot of accounts and an overwhelming number of passwords to keep track of.

Compounding this issue is the BIR's requirement to change your EACCREG password every three months. While this security measure is important, remembering a unique password for each branch, from 000 to 100 (or beyond), in addition to your personal passwords, can be incredibly stressful and tedious.  It's simply not practical or realistic to memorize so many different combinations

Fortunately, there's good news! eAccReg is designed to handle multiple branches under a single account.  You can add branch codes from 000 all the way up to 99999 using just one eAccReg account. This single account is tied to your 12-digit Tax Identification Number (TIN), formatted as 123-456-789-00000.  This significantly simplifies password management and reduces the administrative burden.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add a branch to your existing eAccReg account:

STEP 1: Start with Branch 000: You must already have an EACCREG account established for branch code 000. This serves as your primary account.

STEP 2: Access Account Settings: Log in to your EACCREG account for branch 000. Navigate to the account settings section.  You'll likely find the "Add Branch" option in the lower portion of this page. 

STEP 3: Select "Add Branch": Click on the "Add Branch" button to initiate the process of adding a new branch.

 STEP 4: Fill in Branch Information:  You'll be prompted to fill in the required information for the new branch. This information must match exactly what is on the branch's Certificate of Registration (COR/BIR Form 2303), including any spaces between letters or characters.  This step is case-sensitive, so pay close attention to detail.  If you encounter any errors during this step, consult your Revenue District Office (RDO) for assistance.  Double-check everything!

STEP 5: Submit the Information: Click the "Submit" button after carefully reviewing the entered information.

STEP 6: Confirm the Action: A confirmation prompt will appear. Click "YES" to proceed with adding the branch.

STEP 7: Note the Transaction Number: After submitting, take note of the transaction number. This will be useful for tracking the status of your branch addition request.

STEP 8: Click "Done": Click the "Done" button to complete the initial online portion of the process.

STEP 9: The End

CRUCIAL NEXT STEP RDO Coordination:  Adding a branch online is just the first step. You must coordinate with your RDO to complete the process.  They will inform you about the specific requirements and documents you need to submit for their approval.  Failure to submit these requirements within the specified timeframe may result in your application being forfeited.  

Contact your RDO as soon as possible after submitting the online request to ensure you have all the necessary information and can provide the required documents promptly.
