DATEV Unternehmen Online (UO): which expense, tag & invoice data Pleo sends

This article is for finance teams and accountants using DATEV Unternehmen Online (UO) to get an overview of what data types are exported from Pleo to DATEV UO.

Expenses (card + out-of-pocket)

When you export expenses via the DATEV UO integration, Pleo sends expense posting data to DATEV and links the receipts to the posting. Typically, this includes:

  • Expense amount and currency (see limitation below)
  • Expense date
  • Supplier/merchant details (where available)
  • Category/account mapping (based on your accounting setup)
  • Tax/VAT information (based on your tax setup)
  • Posting text (automatically generated)
  • Tags sent as cost centres (KOST1/KOST2) if configured

Good to know: Pleo sends data to DATEV only when you export from the Export queue, after you select ready expenses and trigger the export.

Tags (cost centres)

  • If you use tags in Pleo and have mapped them to KOST1/KOST2, Pleo includes them as cost centre values in DATEV.
  • Cost centre values are sent together with the expense export (as part of each posting).

Your DATEV administrator or tax advisor must enable these services for you:

  • Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0 (required to connect DATEV with other apps and transfer data securely)
  • Kassenbuch online (required for managing the cash ledger flow used for the integration)

Invoices


To successfully export invoices (including the invoice document + bookkeeping info), your company's DATEV account Bearbeitungsform must be set to "Erweitert", the current fiscal year must be created/set in DATEV and if needed a contra account added in the Pleo accounting settings.

Limitations

Multi-currency

  • Multi-currency export isn't supported for DATEV UO (expenses are exported in EUR).


Reimbursements

  • With DATEV UO, reimbursements are not posted per employee. If you need help setting reimbursements up for DATEV UO, follow the reimbursements setup steps.


Creditors/vendors

  • Creditors can only be recorded for invoices (not for card expenses).


Posting text

  • Posting text can't be customized. It is created automatically based on supplier, category, and employee (where available).
