Manage DATEV export data
This is how you configure the consultant number, client number and all general ledger accounts to ensure a smooth handover to the tax advisor.
Why export to DATEV?
With the DATEV export, you can transfer your daily sales, payments, and tax rates in DATEV format to your tax advisor or accounting system. Advantages over manual entry: no typos, lightning fast, ready for month-end closing.
Header data and accounts
In the Header Data section, enter your tax advisor's DATEV master data:
- Advisor Number (e.g., 1001)
- Client Number (e.g., 1000)
- Account Number Length — 4 or 8 digits
- Standard Chart of Accounts — usually SKR 03 or SKR 04
Below, you assign the appropriate general ledger account for each payment method and tax rate. Examples from the SKR 03 chart of accounts: Cash 1000, EC card and SumUp 1360, Voucher 1700, 7% 8300, 19% 8400. Your own payment methods will appear here automatically.
Ask your tax advisor once
The account numbers above are standard suggestions. Ask your tax advisor for their advisor number, client number, chart of accounts, and the specific accounts to be used—some firms use different sub-accounts.
Perform export
In the settings tab, you maintain the header data and account assignments and trigger batch email delivery via Send to tax advisor: DSFinV-K, DATEV posting batches, Z-reports, account assignments, fiscal settings, and process documentation. You can start the direct file download under Documents → Z-reports (posting batches) or Documents → Cash book. Both are delivered as individual CSV files. Only the DATEV Cash Book Online Export generates a ZIP file—and only if the period covers more than one month; it then contains one CSV file per month.
