This way, your financial data can be quickly and easily transferred to the tax advisor or further processed with your own DATEV software. Today, we would like to inform you about setting up our @NAV-DATEV interface or upgrading an existing one and show you the most important steps.

Setting up the @NAV-DATEV interface

First of all, it is necessary to determine which objects are adapted in your NAV system so that the DATEV functionalities can be integrated into your customer objects, if necessary modified. Without modifications, it is possible to directly import the DATEV objects into Dynamics NAV.

It is important in this context that certain objects (tables, pages, etc.) in your NAV application must be „free“ as they are required for setting up the interface.

After setting up the DATEV interface, test bookings are exported. These are checked for accuracy and, after successful testing, the DATEV interface can be taken into productive use in the live system.

The booking data can now be transmitted to DATEV for each booking period, optionally including the personal accounts (debitors/creditors).

The export and import of financial data is possible using the gross and net method.
