Facts read from this source
-
Datev not in scope Report an error
“Not in scope: products, recurring bookings, imports from DATEV into Younium.”
-
Datev format Report an error
“Younium produces files in DATEV's standard import format (the EXTF format, version 700), which your accountant or tax adviser reads into DATEV Rechnungswesen or another DATEV accounting product.”
-
Datev two exports Report an error
“There are two exports. The customer export turns your Younium accounts into DATEV debtor master data (Debitoren/Kreditoren), so every customer exists in DATEV with the same debtor number, name, address and VAT ID. The journal export turns a Younium journal into a DATEV booking batch (Buchungsstapel)”
-
Datev no automation Report an error
“Nothing is sent to DATEV automatically. Posting an invoice in Younium does not create anything in DATEV; you export a file when you need one, typically once per accounting period, and import it into DATEV yourself.”
-
Datev authentication Report an error
“There is nothing to connect. DATEV is a file-based integration: Younium has no connection to DATEV, needs no DATEV credentials, and stores none.”
-
Datev permissions Report an error
“The DATEV page under integration settings is available once DATEV is enabled for the legal entity, and opening it requires the View DATEV settings permission.”
-
Datev settings defaults Report an error
“The page holds two on/off settings, both off by default, plus your DATEV header numbers and the booking text templates described below.”
-
Datev settings bu schluessel Report an error
“Map taxcode to deferred revenue account to buSchlüssel Fills the BU-Schlüssel on invoice journal bookings from the external code of the invoice's tax category, when the invoice uses exactly one tax category. When off, the BU-Schlüssel on invoice bookings is left blank.”
-
Datev settings trailing zero Report an error
“Append trailing zero to debitor account number Adds a 0 to the end of the debtor number Younium builds from the account number, in both the customer export and the invoice journal export.”
-
Datev consultant client numbers Report an error
“The Beraternummer must be between 1001 and 9999999 and the Mandantennummer between 1 and 99999.”
-
Datev placeholders Report an error
“When a number is not set, Younium exports the placeholder 9999999 for the Beraternummer or 99999 for the Mandantennummer and raises warning HDR-001 or HDR-002.”
-
Datev booking text templates Report an error
“A template can be up to 200 characters and can contain the following placeholders, which Younium replaces for each booking.”
-
Datev booking text limit Report an error
“strips quotation marks, semicolons and line breaks (which would break the DATEV file), and cuts the text to DATEV's limit of 60 characters.”
-
Datev custom debtor field Report an error
“If your debtor numbers in DATEV differ from your Younium account numbers, create a text custom field on Account with the internal name datevAccountNumber and enter each customer's DATEV debtor number there.”
-
Datev shared debtor numbers Report an error
“Several Younium accounts can share one DATEV debtor number — for example, separate locations of one customer that are booked on a single debtor.”
-
Customer export scope Report an error
“Export as Datev on the accounts list exports every active Younium account as a DATEV debtor. Inactive accounts are not included, and the export always covers all active accounts rather than the rows currently filtered in the list.”
-
Customer export file format Report an error
“The file is a semicolon-separated DATEV Debitoren/Kreditoren file (format category 16, format version 5) whose name starts with EXTF_Accounts.”
-
Customer export company type Report an error
“Every customer is exported as a company (Adressatentyp 2, salutation Firma) with a street address.”
-
Customer export VAT formatting Report an error
“DATEV expects the VAT ID without its country prefix and in each country's own format. Younium takes the country from the first two letters of the account's tax registration number, removes spaces and the country prefix, and reformats the rest”
-
Customer export unexportable accounts Report an error
“An account whose VAT ID does not match its country's format, or whose VAT ID starts with a country that is neither an EU member state nor Switzerland, Norway or the United Kingdom, is left out of the export rather than stopping it.”
-
Journal export types Report an error
“It is available for invoice, revenue recognition and payment journals; for any other journal type the action is disabled.”
-
Journal export file format Report an error
“The file is a semicolon-separated DATEV Buchungsstapel (format category 21, format version 12) whose name starts with EXTF_Transactions.”

“If an invoice has no accounts receivable account at either level, the export fails and no file is produced.”

“It does not export the invoice's individual revenue or VAT lines, so the split between revenue accounts and VAT is left to DATEV's automatic accounts and the BU-Schlüssel.”
-

-
