In this contribution we have already explained why DATEV exists as a company and what it offers. This time, however, we want to take a closer look at their services. That's why we're talking about the DATEV format.
A short recap
The DATEV format was introduced at the end of the 1990s for transferring data between users' accounting systems and tax offices. Thanks to its versatile functions and diverse compatibility with different systems, the solution has proven itself on the German market. DATEV's modern advice is to use a standardised, digital format by 2018. Their system solution actually makes this possible.
Data exchange via DATEV format
Let us move on to the actual application possibilities. As already mentioned, data transfer makes it possible to export from various DATEV programmes. This can involve many different types of data, such as from bookings, accounts, goods transactions, or payroll. Through the functions „Income Tax classic“, „LODAS classic“, or „Financial Analysis pro“, values can be manually or automatically transferred into statistics or other data sets – well-developed DATEV interfaces make this possible. With each data transfer, the sender can decide which data sets or which information they want to transfer, and then export in *.cvt or *.dat format. Usually, the data can be viewed in preview mode before sending. In addition, the DATEV user can also work with the ASCII format, which is then saved in *.txt and *.csv files.
For each DATEV interface registration is usually required to check the validity of all personal and company data. Depending on the system, the interface also costs money - but it is often of higher quality and guarantees security (largely relevant in the area of data). Another advantage that makes the tiresome topic of accounting easier: many auditors and tax offices now only work with DATEV.
Data exchange with SAP Business One
the Versino DATEV interface can in turn import the data exported from the DATEV programmes. Of course, it is also possible to export data from SAP Business One for processing in DATEV.
