DATEV-interfaces for importing and exporting data In order to facilitate cooperation with your accountant, we offer in addition to the standard CSV and XML interfaces the possibility of data exchange with DATEVsystems. For this purpose, Exact Online offers different import and export interfaces for master and transactional data based on the DATEV 3.0 format. Your German accountant knows this format and how to handle it. Import: Transfer of accounts receivable and vendor master data Transfer of individual bookings from current accounts Transfer of bookings for the opening balance sheet accounts to start with Exact Online Export: Transfer of accounts receivable and vendor master data Transfer of individual bookings from current accounts to DATEV Or alternatively transfer of account balances to DATEV
EXACT ONLINE 3 In order to be able to export the data to DATEV additional information is required. Enter the additional data in the account maintenance: Via the menu path [COMPANY NAME / MAINTENANCE] you can enter these required information.
EXACT ONLINE 4 Requirements for the success of export and import Please note that the data integrity of both systems is essential for a successful data exchange. Bookings can only be exchanged successfully if ledger accounts, tax codes and personal accounts etc. are equivalent set up in both systems. For this reason, we recommend that before exporting booking first the current creditors and debtors are exported from the source to the target system. The chart of accounts in Exact Online must be identical to the chart of accounts in the DATEV system. For a successful import of bookings in DATEV format, it is also necessary to set up the master data identical beforehand. For the personal accounts, this can be done also via a DATEV interface. The number ranges for suppliers and customers must be identical to the number ranges in the DATEV system.

EXACT ONLINE 6 Alternative import options As an alternative to the DATEV interface you can also use the Exact Online standard import interfaces (XML, CSV) or you can manually enter master data and booking. For some journals Exact offers import template which you can find within the import wizard. If you want to import the data step by step please keep in mind that there is an order you have to keep, as some data is depending from others. For examples you cannot import tax codes before you haven t imported the GL-accounts and the tax codes refer to them. The GETTING STARTED FINANCIAL page can give you an overview of the steps and the right order. In the menu My Exact Online you can set up the GETTING STARTED FINANCIAL PAGE as your home page: A click on the Exact logo will then bring it up and you can see the steps you need to perform to import all your data manually.
EXACT ONLINE 7 Automatic - ledger accounts Please note that in some ledger accounts DATEV uses an automatic functionality to calculate the tax amount. In order to support this feature, Exact Online offers the possibility to mark general ledger accounts as automatic ledger accounts. Please check if your ledger accounts are correctly labeled. Once the checkbox for AUTOMATIC VAT GL ACCOUNT is ticked, the VAT code becomes a required field and must be entered. When exporting individual bookings, tax amounts are not transferred from Exact Online, if such an automatic account is part of the booking. The tax calculation is performed in this case in DATEV. When importing individual bookings to an automatic ledger account, the tax is determined based on the VAT code in the automatic ledger account. If you use the DATEV interface for the import of transactions the consideration of automatic GL accounts can be switched off.
EXACT ONLINE 8 Personal Accounts Unlike Exact Online DATEV works with fixed number range for the codes for customers and suppliers. The code numbers for customers and suppliers must have one digit more than the GL account code numbers. For four-digit ledger accounts in the range 0001-9999, this means: debtors (customers) have to be in the range 10000-69999 creditors ( suppliers) have to be in the range 70000-99999 Opposite to this system Exact Online prospects, customers, suppliers, partners and other business contacts are generally maintained in the same number range. Due to this it is it is important that you keep the DATEV system in mind when to enter customer or supplier data into Exact Online. Troubleshooting In the event that an error occurs when you import your data from DATEV we list here some error messages you might receive and how to solve them.
