What is FRCS VMS Phase 3?
FRCS VMS Phase 3 is the Fiji VAT Monitoring System requirement for businesses and POS providers that need to issue fiscalized tax invoices. For many businesses, this means their POS, accounting system, or invoicing workflow must be able to send invoice data for fiscalization and return fiscalized receipt or journal information.
FiscoBridge is designed to support different Fiji business workflows, including existing POS systems, Windows-based POS devices, cloud invoice issuing, Xero, MYOB, and custom software integrations. The right setup depends less on the size of the business and more on where invoices are created today — at a counter, in the back office, or inside an accounting platform.

Which FiscoBridge solution should you choose?
Six ways to reach FRCS VMS Phase 3 compliance. Pick the one that matches how invoices are created in your business today.
Sales Data Controller
Best for: existing POS, retail, restaurants, supermarkets
The FiscoBridge Sales Data Controller works with POS systems that can send invoice data to a local API. Your POS sends the invoice to FiscoBridge, FiscoBridge fiscalizes it, and the POS receives the fiscalized invoice data back — ready to print on the receipt.

Best for: retail and restaurants that want a complete till
FiscoBridge Desktop POS is a full point of sale for Windows, macOS, and Linux with FRCS VMS fiscalization built in through the SDC. Inventory, customers, shifts, and reports are included, so there is no separate POS to buy and integrate.

Best for: simple online invoice issuing
FiscoBridge Web Invoicing can be used when a business does not want to build or modify its own POS software. It is suitable for simple invoice issuing workflows and businesses that want a cloud-first approach with no on-premise installation.

Best for: businesses that already invoice in Xero or Odoo
Invoices raised in Xero are fiscalized in real time and the FRCS fiscal number is written back onto the invoice. Odoo works the same way, on Odoo Online or a self-hosted, on-premise deployment. You choose whether fiscalization happens when an invoice is approved or when payment is recorded.

Best for: Fiji businesses invoicing in MYOB AccountRight or MYOB Business
Both MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business are supported. Connect over OAuth, map your MYOB tax codes to the VMS tax rates, and invoices are signed with your PFX certificate and submitted to FRCS automatically. FiscoBridge polls MYOB, so invoices are normally fiscalized within about five minutes.

Best for: POS vendors, ERP, hotels, software companies
If your software can send invoice data to an API, FiscoBridge can help connect your system to the fiscalization workflow. This is useful for POS vendors that want to keep their existing interface and only add the fiscalization layer required for FRCS VMS Phase 3.
Read the POS to SDC API integration guideCan your existing POS become VMS compliant?
In most cases, yes. If your current POS can be modified to send invoice data to an API and receive a signed response, the cleanest path is to keep the POS and add FiscoBridge as the fiscalization layer behind it. Touch-screen terminals, barcode readers, and receipt printers all stay exactly as they are today.
For POS vendors maintaining a product across several Fiji clients, this means a single integration project — not a rewrite per store. The same API contract works whether the SDC runs on a local Windows machine or in the cloud.
Can Xero, Odoo, MYOB or QuickBooks invoices be fiscalized?
Yes — and for many Fiji businesses this is the simplest route. If invoices already live in Xero or Odoo, FiscoBridge can read them, fiscalize the data, and write the FRCS-issued fiscal number back. Depending on the configuration, fiscalization can happen when an invoice is approved or when payment is recorded.
QuickBooks invoices are handled the same way through the QuickBooks cloud integration — useful for Fiji accounting firms running clients on QuickBooks Online who want a single fiscalization workflow across the practice.
MYOB is supported for both MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business (formerly MYOB Essentials). You connect over OAuth, map your MYOB tax codes to the VMS tax rates, and FiscoBridge signs each invoice with your PFX certificate and submits it to FRCS. MYOB is polled rather than pushed, so an invoice is normally fiscalized within about five minutes of being raised.
Odoo runs on the same model whether you are on Odoo Online or a self-hosted, on-premise deployment — the connection method is chosen during setup.
How does offline fiscalization work?
The local SDC approach is designed for workflows where invoices can be signed locally and reported later when internet connectivity is available. For Fiji businesses outside main centres, this is critical — you keep selling and printing compliant receipts while the SDC queues fiscal data for the next sync to FRCS.
The fiscal signature is generated against the smart card during the sale, not against an internet connection, which is what makes the offline path possible.
Pricing and implementation
Pricing depends on your setup. A small business with one POS device has different needs than a POS vendor, hotel, supermarket, or accounting firm with multiple clients.
Common pricing factors for Fiji VMS deployments:
- Number of POS devices
- Number of companies or taxpayer accounts
- Whether you need local SDC, Desktop POS, Web Invoicing, or cloud integration
- Whether your system needs custom API work
- Monthly invoice volume
- Whether you use Xero, MYOB, Odoo, ERP, or custom POS software

Frequently asked questions — Fiji VMS
Practical answers for Fiji business owners, POS vendors, and software providers.
Not always. If your current POS can be modified to send invoice data to an API, it is usually possible to keep your existing POS and connect it to FiscoBridge through the Sales Data Controller or a custom integration.
A Sales Data Controller is the software layer that receives invoice data from the POS, performs fiscalization, and returns fiscalized invoice data to the POS or business system.
Yes. For SDC-based fiscalization, the setup normally requires the correct secure element or smart card to sign invoices. The exact setup depends on the business workflow and the current FRCS requirements.
The local SDC approach is designed for workflows where invoices can be signed locally and reported later when internet connectivity is available. This is useful for businesses that cannot depend on a stable connection at every moment.
Yes. FiscoBridge supports cloud integration workflows for accounting systems such as Xero. Depending on the configuration, invoices can be fiscalized when they are approved or when payment is added.
Yes. FiscoBridge supports both MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business (formerly MYOB Essentials). After you connect MYOB over OAuth and map your MYOB tax codes to the VMS tax rates, invoices are signed with your PFX certificate and submitted to FRCS automatically. FiscoBridge polls MYOB for new invoices, so fiscalization normally completes within about five minutes.
Yes, two of them. FiscoBridge Desktop POS is a full point of sale for retail and restaurants on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with VMS fiscalization built in through the SDC. FiscoBridge Web Invoicing is a browser-based option for businesses that only need to issue fiscalized invoices.
Yes. POS vendors can connect their software to FiscoBridge through the POS to SDC API. This allows the vendor to keep their POS interface while adding the fiscalization layer required for Fiji VMS compliance.
Contact FiscoBridge and share what system you use today, how many POS devices or companies you have, and whether invoices are created in POS, Xero, MYOB, ERP, or another business system.
