Instead of typing your invoices in from PDFs, your tax adviser reads them straight into DATEV: as a booking batch in DATEV’s format, with your customers as debtors. Set it up once — then it’s one export a month.
Both in the format DATEV itself describes, read in through DATEV’s import — no retyping, no reformatting.
Every invoice and cancellation you issued in the period — debited to the customer’s debtor account, credited to the tax rate’s revenue account.
The customers of these bookings as debtors — so your tax adviser sees the open items per customer.
Four settings under Settings → DATEV. The page tells you what’s still missing — and so does the export, before it starts.
The DATEV export is off until you switch it on — while it’s off, nothing in UNENO reminds you of DATEV.
Both numbers come from your tax adviser. They head every DATEV file — without them DATEV won’t take the import.
SKR03 or SKR04: every tax rate gets the chart’s standard revenue account. Enter your own where your tax adviser wants a different one.
One debtor per customer, or one collective debtor. Once the page says “Ready”, DATEV is a format in your data export.
Built to DATEV’s own format description — and every field tested against DATEV’s checking rules.
The DATEV settings appear when your company is based in Germany — the same rule as for e-invoicing.
So your tax adviser can test a first import before you decide.
If the period holds invoices in another currency, the export doesn’t start — and names those invoices.
The revenue accounts are DATEV’s standard accounts. Whether they fit your sales is your tax adviser’s call — UNENO doesn’t decide tax questions.
An export holds every booking of its period — importing the same period twice would book it twice.
Setting it up needs the right to edit settings; exporting, the right to view invoices and create exports.
Short answers to what people ask us most.
Read in the two files from the ZIP through DATEV’s import — the debtors first, then the booking batch. Before your first export, agree the consultant and client number, the chart of accounts and the revenue accounts with them.
No — as long as “Book payments too” is off, which is the default. Most tax advisers book payments from your bank statement. If yours wants them from UNENO, switch the option on: each payment is then booked against its invoice number, so DATEV clears the open item.
The invoice is in the export of its period, the cancellation invoice in the export of its own period — as a reversal (Generalumkehr) that undoes the invoice’s booking. Together they come to zero.
The one your tax adviser keeps your books in — ask them. UNENO then fills in that chart’s standard revenue account for each tax rate; where your tax adviser wants a different one, you enter it per tax rate.
Yes, but every export holds all bookings of its period — if your tax adviser imports both files, everything is booked twice. Export, say, last month every month, and talk to your tax adviser before you send a period again.
Not yet — the DATEV export holds the bookings and the debtors, not the documents themselves. For the PDFs, export your invoices as a PDF archive in the data export.
