Manual Lots to set, explained everywhere.

Everything has a documented default. Only a few details are required: advisor and client number, a sales channel, the debtor and the revenue accounts of the rates that occur. What a setting does is written on it in the admin.

Everything here is ready for the export - nothing on this tab can be missing. Whether a run happens at all is decided on the "Accounts" and "Sales channels" tabs: without a revenue and a debtor account and without an assigned sales channel the export is blocked, whatever is set here.

Booking & taxation

When turnover arises for tax purposes and how the bookings are handed over.

Everything here is optional and has a default: accrual taxation (turnover arises with the invoice), one booking row per document, cancellations as a general reversal (DATEV field 118), the lock flag off, no cost centres. Only change something when your tax advisor explicitly asks for it.

Export behaviour

How the export behaves in special cases

Already exported documentsWhat happens when a period is exported again. Recommended for live operation: documents already exported once are left out of the next run, so DATEV never books anything twice. Corrections go through a reversal/credit note.Skip (standard - no double export)

Warnings block the export
