Companies that use DATEV Unternehmen Online can connect their Circula account with their DATEV account using DATEV Cloud Services (Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0). Financial accounting exports can be carried out with just a few clicks via the direct interface.

  • Access to DATEV Unternehmen Online, resp. the DATEV Belegtransfer module.

  • DATEV Add-On "Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0". If you do not yet have this Add-On enabled, contact your tax advisor to enable it for you.

  2. Select the expenses to export and click 'Export'.

  3. Select ‘Transfer to DATEV' as the export option.

Select 'Transfer to DATEV' to initiate the process

You will be redirected to the following DATEV login page:

DATEV and Circula

DATEV login page

After logging in, select the corresponding mandant number and complete the process.

You can also initiate this process on already exported reports, in the Reports section:

Transfer data to DATEV from existing reports in Report.

Failed direct transfer

In order to export successfully, the following settings must be processed in DATEV:

  • DATEV Unternehmen Online including Belege Online has been set up

  • The Add on 'Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0' must be booked with DATEV
    → Possibly you are using a new SmartLogin / Smartcard on which the rights for the transfer to RSD 1.0 is not stored
    → DATEV / your tax consultant can check this (corresponding error message)

  • The 'Erweitert' setting function has been activated in the online document
    → View click tutorial here (german version only)

The correct fiscal year must be selected in DATEV. It is not possible to export from fiscal years that are already closed.

Please check these points first if you receive an error during export. If a report has been created despite the error message, you can download it in DATEV XML format and transfer it manually to DATEV Enterprise Online. You can find our information on this here.

Common error causes for failed exports are:

  • A temporarily unstable Internet connection

  • Receipt > 20 MB in the export file

  • Expenses from a month that is already closed in DATEV in the export file.

In the last two cases, you have the possibility to adjust the XML file and transfer it manually to DATEV.
