DATEV Integration: Send Booking Data to Your Tax Firm Auto­mati­cally

That depends on how many data sources are connected and how well your existing system provides the data. A clearly scoped DATEV export from a single system can often be implemented in the Starter package from €2,500; connecting several sources such as shop, ERP and payment services falls under the Professional package from €8,000. You will receive the exact quote after the free initial consultation.

A single export is often live within a few weeks – provided the account coding rules have been agreed with the tax firm. The duration is influenced most by coordination and test imports, not by programming. That's why we build a test period into the plan from the start.

There are two basic routes: your software generates a file in DATEV format that your tax firm imports, or the data is transferred via DATEV's online interfaces. The online interfaces come with DATEV's own access and approval requirements, which we check with you and your tax firm in advance. Which route fits better depends on the data volume and on how your tax firm works.

Yes. DATEV is designed to accept booking data from third-party software – typically via the documented DATEV format. We make sure your shop, ERP or in-house development produces this data completely and correctly.

Lexware programs usually offer their own DATEV export, so a new development is typically not necessary. A custom integration makes sense when data from your shop, ERP or in-house developments has to be merged or prepared before the handover. We'll go through this honestly with you in the initial consultation.

No. Your tax firm decides which accounts, tax keys and workflows are correct – we implement those specifications technically. Our work does not replace tax advice; it makes sure the agreed data arrives reliably and completely.
