AR DATEV Duo export and product GL accounts

Export receivables to DATEV Duo with product and line GL accounts.

Export issued receivable invoices to DATEV Duo (Ausgangsrechnungen / receivables ledger): set GL accounts on products and lines, Debitor (Personenkonto) on customers, and run Export to accounting from the receivable invoice workflow.

1. Product and line GL accounts

  1. Receivables → Products: set GL account on each product (revenue / Sachkonto as required by your DATEV chart).
  2. On a receivable draft, line items show a GL column prefilled from the product.
  3. You may edit line GL on draft; after issue, GL remains editable until DATEV Duo export completes for that invoice.

2. Customer debitor account

On Receivables → Customers, maintain Debitor account (Personenkonto) for each billing customer.

Export eligibility checks debitor + line GL before sending to DATEV Duo.

3. Workflow: Export to accounting

  1. Settings → Workflow Configuration → entity Receivable invoice.
  2. Add Export to accounting on the path after issue (often after Mark as issued / email step).
  3. Target DATEV Duo only when Duo is the connected accounting export for receivables (section: receivables / folder Ausgangsrechnungen).

Eligibility typically requires:

  • Status Issued or Paid
  • Stored invoice PDF
  • Customer Debitor and each line GL

4. Export outcome

When the workflow step runs:

  • Cortena uploads or registers the receivable per DATEV Duo receivables integration rules.
  • Success moves display status toward Synced (or your configured exported state).
  • Blocked export shows reasons (missing debitor, missing GL, blocked month if applicable).

Tips and limitations

  • DATEV Rechnungswesen payables EXTF is separate. See DATEV Rechnungswesen.
  • Duo connection is under Settings → Integrations. See DATEV Unternehmen online.
  • Twinfield / Exact receivable export use different drivers, not this article.
