DATEV export for your e-commerce accounting
Export booking-ready e-commerce data directly into DATEV – seamlessly transfer journal entries, tax keys, contra accounts and digital document attachments.
KudTax generates DATEV EXTF posting batches from prepared invoice and transaction data. You or your accounting firm review the file and import it into DATEV. Accounts, VAT codes and document references depend on the processed data and your configured posting rules.

What to watch for with DATEV
One wrong tax key rejects the whole batch
DATEV validates line by line on import. An implausible combination of account, tax key and amount gets the batch rejected or partly discarded. The error surfaces at the firm rather than with you, and the time it costs there is billable.
Without a document link the evidence chain breaks
A journal entry with no linked document does not meet the GoBD requirement for traceability. Marketplace settlements are the document behind the payout; they belong in the export, not separately in a folder.
Locked periods do not change any more
Once a month is locked in DATEV a corrected batch can no longer be imported; it takes correcting entries instead. So the period cut has to be right before the export, not after it.
Why connect DATEV with KudTax
Zero manual data entry
Eliminates spreadsheet copying and manual posting errors for tax firms and accounting teams.
Mapped chart of accounts
Fully customizable G/L accounts, contra accounts and tax keys matching SKR03 or SKR04.
Document references for review
The EXTF posting batch contains document-reference fields. The current export path does not populate a document link automatically; the XML document package is a separate export path.
Review before import
Review format, account assignment and document references with your accounting firm before the data is imported into DATEV.
