Help the tax advisor prepare and execute a DATEV export:
Step 1: Verify DATEV settings
- Call
get_company_details to check current DATEV configuration
- Verify the following are set:
- Chart of accounts (SKR03 or SKR04)
- DATEV advisor number (Beraternummer)
- DATEV client number (Mandantennummer)
- If any are missing, inform the advisor and offer to update via
update_company_details
Step 2: Check categorization completeness
- Call
search_transactions with status=UNVERIFIED to find uncategorized transactions
- Report the count and total amount of uncategorized transactions
- If there are uncategorized transactions:
- List the top items by amount
- Offer to help categorize them using company categories (
list_company_categories)
- Warn that uncategorized transactions will be exported without a DATEV booking account
Step 3: Check receipt completeness
- Call
get_missing_documents_summary to identify transactions without receipts
- Focus on expense transactions >250 EUR (required for Vorsteuerabzug)
- Report the count and recommend collecting missing receipts before export
Step 4: Pre-export summary

Issues to Resolve
List any blocking issues before export
Step 5: Trigger export
- Only proceed if the advisor confirms
- Call
trigger_datev_export to generate the DATEV EXTF CSV package
- The export includes:
- DATEV EXTF CSV file (booking records)
- Transaction statement
- Attached documents
- Provide the download link from the response
Step 6: Post-export
- Confirm the export was successful
- Remind the advisor to import the file into their DATEV software
- Suggest marking the period as exported to avoid duplicate exports
Tips:
- DATEV EXTF format is the standard for German tax advisors
- SKR03 is the most common chart of accounts; SKR04 is used by some industries
- Always verify advisor and client numbers match the DATEV installation
