What is Bookicorn's DATEV export?
The DATEV export is an add-on that writes all of a month's invoices and cancellation invoices as a posting batch in DATEV format into a CSV file. DATEV is the accounting standard used by tax advisors in Germany, and Bookicorn supports it directly. Each invoice becomes one posting with gross amount, revenue account by tax rate, document date and invoice number. You hand the file to your tax advisor.
- Who it's for
- For studios, schools and instructors whose accounting runs on DATEV or who send data to their tax advisor every month, typically in Germany.
- What you get
- A posting batch per month with invoices, cancellation invoices and recorded Stripe fees, plus advisor number, client number and your accounts.
- What it costs
- The DATEV export is an add-on and takes one add-on slot in your plan. It also requires the Invoicing System add-on.

View requirementWhat the DATEV export can do
Your invoices become a posting batch that your tax advisor processes further.
All featuresPosting batch in DATEV format
A CSV file in the EXTF posting batch format, with advisor number, client number and period in the header and one posting per invoice.
One posting per invoice
Gross amount, revenue account by tax rate 19% or 7%, bank as the contra account, document date, the invoice number as the document field and the first line item as posting text.
Cancellation invoices as credits
Cancellation invoices appear with their own number as credit postings in the same batch. That way the canceled invoice balances out.
Stripe fees as a separate posting
If Bookicorn knows the Stripe fee of an online payment, it's added as a separate posting to account 4970.
Your accounts
Enter the advisor number and client number from your tax advisor, plus the accounts for revenue 19%, revenue 7% and bank. The SKR03 values 8400, 8300 and 1200 are prefilled.
Pick a month and export
Choose month and year and download the file in the browser or share it right from your phone, such as by email to your tax advisor.
Also included

Can't find your question?
Write to usYes. The export writes the invoices and cancellation invoices from the invoicing system into the posting batch. Without the invoicing system, no invoices are created, and the file would contain no postings.
