the Project number is an SAP B1 controlling object that assigns costs and revenues to a project. In the VFS DATEV export, the project number can be exported to the DATEV fields KOST1 or KOST2 as an alternative to a cost centre.
Context
Companies that bill on a project basis and allocate costs primarily by project rather than by cost centre can configure the VFS-DATEV export so that the project number from SAP B1 is transferred to the DATEV cost centre field. This allows the tax firm to carry out project-related analyses in DATEV without having to create its own cost centres in SAP B1. (Source: V04.2026_V2, Ch. 4.1.6, p. 12)
Demarcation
The project number is not a substitute for a cost centre; it is an alternative controlling dimension in SAP B1. In the DATEV export, it occupies the KOST1 or KOST2 field, which otherwise carries the cost centre. Both objects cannot occupy the same DATEV field simultaneously.
