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.

How to add branch on EACCREG?

Password is very important in order to access your EACCREG account for you to print your POS permit. What if you have too many branches to open in the future? Therefore , you have to have an  individual account for that starting from branch code 000 up to 100. Too many account right?! and Too may password to remember.

Did you know that every 3 months you are required to change your password whethere you like it or not? I have nothing against with that process but remembering the password from 000 to 100? There's no way you can remember them all and what about your personal password?

GOOD NEWS!! EACCREG is capable to add branch code from 000 up to 999 ONLY using one (1) EACCREG account. Of course which is equivalent to one (1) TIN # which is compose of 12 numbers ( 123-456-789-000 )

Here's what you needed to do  in order to create add branch:

1. You must have an eaccreg account for Branch Code: 000
2. From account settings, check on the lower portion.
3. Click Add Branch
4. Fill up the info - Add Branch Business Information using COR (BIR Form 2303) of branch code 001.

NOTE: Step 4 is case sensitive. All data must be exactly the same with what is encoded in the company COR including spaces in between letters/characters. Consult your RDO if you encounter error.

5. Click on Submit button.
6. Click YES button to proceed the process.
7. Take note of your transaction number.
8. Click on Done button.

Coordinate to your RDO what are the requirements/documents needed to submit for them to approve your add branch. Failure to submit requirements may forfeit your application. Just to give you an idea and to visualize the outcome of your adding branch code.

Selection of Branch Code

Outcome when you select Branch Code 112

LASTLY, you will receive an email once your enrollment for adding a branch has been approved.

 We need to " Need to check if when was COR is released. However, we still have dependencies and this part we have no control even Head Office but a constant follow up from their RDO (client will follow it up. If today?

“It will take 3 days po for the store TIN/ data to be updated in the BIR central data base. Per telecon with BIR BID (Head Office), all TIN generated for the day will be uploaded per batch every night to the BIR Central Data File (CDF). All uploaded TIN information (company name, business name, address etc.) will then be processed in the CDF. At the end of the day, all processed TIN will be sent back to the BIR Regional District Office system for updating. Once updated, we can apply for the POS permit. The store TIN was just generated in the BIR system yesterday morning by BIR South Makati. “

NOTE: Please be guided that this was the process of eAccReg before they encountered the longest offline ( somewhere of Jan 2019) maybe they already have adjustment on their system.

How to keep track your created password for eaccreg and esales?

We all know that password are very important. Password are kept sensitive as in very sensitive so that only worthy person can able to access such information especially if the information are shared to a limited number of person. I've been using EACCREG for quite sometime now.

One thing I noticed from using EACCREG is that every three (3) months it forced me to change my password without any encountered malicious activity. I believe its for the safety purposes for every taxpayer.

Since I am not good remembering passwords especially that you cannot repeat passwords that you already been used. I created a hard-copy or a fill up form wherein I can use it as reference of all my created passwords. Its really draining to create password and keep them be remembered.

Just like to share it to you how did I do it just in case my memory failed me.
