Facts read from this source
-
Export formats Report an error
“The accounting export supports three formats, which you select in the basic settings: DATEV, Lexware and a universal general CSV format.”
-
Datev specification Report an error
“The DATEV export follows the DATEV specification for the ASCII import/export of booking batches and is designed for direct ingestion into DATEV Unternehmen online as well as into DATEV accounting software used by your tax advisor.”
-
Datev file encoding Report an error
“The file uses the encoding ISO-8859-1 (ANSI), semicolon as column separator and linefeed (LF) as line break.”
-
Datev extf header Report an error
“With the EXTF header active, ZEP additionally delivers consultant number, client, chart of accounts (SKR) and business-year start as a header row.”
-
Datev columns Report an error
“ZEP fills the fields below. Fields that exist in the specification but are not populated by ZEP remain empty.”
-
Datev receipt link Report an error
“Receipt Link Receipt number (only with DATEV export with receipt link)”
-
Lexware target Report an error
“The Lexware format is designed for the import into Lexware Buchhalter and is significantly more compact than DATEV – the file consists of ten columns.”
-
Lexware file encoding Report an error
“It uses the encoding ISO-8859-1 (ANSI), semicolon as column separator and CRLF as line break. CSV values are output in double quotes.”
-
Lexware kost limitation Report an error
“In the KOST configuration, only cost center is available for Lexware (no cost unit as with DATEV).”
-
General format columns Report an error
“The general format outputs each booking in 16 columns and is intended as a universal CSV format. It is suitable if your accounting software supports neither DATEV nor Lexware import – the mapping into the target system happens on the customer side.”
-
General format encoding Report an error
“The file uses the encoding ISO-8859-1 (ANSI), semicolon as column separator and linefeed (LF) as line break.”
-
General format foreign currency columns Report an error
“In contrast to DATEV and Lexware, the general format includes additional columns for exchange rate, base-currency amount and base-currency code – useful if you export many receipts in foreign currencies.”
-
Export internal perspective Report an error
“Regardless of the format, every booking that the accounting export creates is recorded from an internal perspective – meaning expenses or costs in the company, not amounts charged on to customers.”
-
Split bookings Report an error
“When a receipt is split across different accounts or cost centers (e.g. a hotel receipt across two projects), ZEP creates a split booking.”
-
Split booking lexware style Report an error
“Lexware: The receipt is exported as a Lexware-style split booking with one header line and multiple detail lines.”
-
Split booking datev general style Report an error
“DATEV and General: Each split is exported as its own line. The sums per account match, the receipt number repeats.”
-
Subsistence mileage export granularity Report an error
“Subsistence costs (VMA) and mileage allowance are exported per day and employee, analogously to the cost accounting report. Lines with an amount of 0.00 (e.g. a day without reimbursement) do not appear in the export.”
-
Subsistence tax auto selection Report an error
“ZEP automatically chooses which expense account and which tax code to use (tax-free vs. taxable) based on the configuration and the tax rules at the booking date.”
-
Datev finalization irreversible Report an error
“With DATEV export and active finalization, the exported bookings go directly into DATEV finalization – they can no longer be changed in DATEV afterwards.”
