What is ÖKC and Why is it Important?

ÖKC (Payment Recording Device) is a device used in retail and restaurant sectors to record sales transactions, equipped with fiscal memory and real-time reporting to the Turkish Revenue Administration (GİB). Known as next-generation cash registers, these devices are far more intelligent and integrated than older models. Since 1998, Arniva has provided ÖKC solutions to over 7,500 active businesses.

What is Fiscal Memory?

Fiscal memory is a non-erasable, tamper-proof data storage area inside the ÖKC. All sales records are stored here, and their accuracy is verified during GİB audits. Next-generation cash registers have large fiscal memory capacity, preventing data loss. Arniva-supported devices are fully compliant with fiscal memory requirements.

How Does GİB Reporting Work?

Modern ÖKC devices transmit every sales transaction to GİB in real time. This is done via a built-in communication module (GSM or Wi-Fi). Thanks to Arniva's semi-hybrid architecture, even if the internet goes down, sales are stored on the device and automatically transmitted to GİB when connectivity is restored. This ensures zero data loss.

What is TSM Update?

TSM (Top-up Stock Management) is actually not hardware but GİB's remote update system. New regulations or security patches are sent to ÖKC devices via TSM. Arniva-supported devices automatically receive TSM updates, keeping your business current without interruption.

What is the Difference Between EFT-POS and ÖKC?

EFT-POS is a device that allows you to accept bank card payments; ÖKC records the sale and stores it in fiscal memory. Today, devices called cash register POS combine both ÖKC and EFT-POS features. With Arniva's integration, you can accept payments via EFT-POS directly on the ÖKC, eliminating the need for separate devices.

How to Transition from an Old Cash Register to a Next-Gen One?

Users of old cash registers must replace their devices during the ÖKC transition. Arniva guides you through this process: existing data is transferred, new device installation is completed, and GİB reporting is initiated. Your business operations continue without disruption.

What to Do in Case of ÖKC Malfunction?

If your ÖKC malfunctions, first try unplugging it and restarting. If the problem persists, Arniva provides phone and remote access support during business hours. Technical service is available under your device's warranty. According to current regulations, you may need to use a backup device during malfunctions; Arniva will guide you accordingly.
