Will the black box be removed in GKS 2.0? No: this is what FDM 2.0 does
The Federal Public Service Finance refers to this component as a Fiscal Data Module (FDM), often called a “black box” in practice. In GKS 2.0, the cash register communicates with an updated FDM via a new protocol. That module transmits receipt details online to the government’s cloud server.
