For the export of invoices and credit notes for import to DATEV at the tax office, a few basic settings have to be made. Thus, the correct SKR 03/04 (standard account frame) must be stored in the payment types and in the tax rates, otherwise the export with the ant does not really work. In this article I present the new tax management under JTL-Wawi 1.0.

In JTL-Wawi Ant there is the possibility to export invoices and credit notes directly for import into the accounting software DATEV. This standard interface allows not only an import to DATEV, but to all accounting software solutions that support this interface for data import. Not goes the export of goods receipt invoices, which are maintained via the purchase management in JTL-Wawi. So far so good. In practice, one or the other experiences exactly the same as I did when I first performed the export, as the following screenshot shows.

Here, when exporting, I am told that the tax account is not set for invoice number xyz and I should check the tax key settings. If I go to the tax key settings in JTL-Wawi via Settings – Taxes – Tax key management and call up the settings there for the standard VAT rate 19%, I see here that the posting account 4400 is already stored in the settings under SKR 03/04 accounts.

Nevertheless, no bookings are exported during the DATEV export from JTL-Wawi Ameise. The reason for this is not immediately apparent at first glance. In order to export the invoices and credit notes successfully and correctly for the tax office, the tax keys must be linked to the accounting accounts with the tax classes in the tax management. For this purpose, the tax administration is called up via Settings – Taxes – Tax administration.

By default, two tax zones are set up in the tax management. There is the tax zone Zone-EU with the tax classes “Normal tax rate” and “Reduced tax rate” and the tax zone Zone-Non-EU with the same tax classes.

And this is where the tax class rates and the tax keys need to be merged. To do this, either double-click on the entry in the Tax class records and tax keys list or select the entry with the mouse and then open it by clicking on the “Edit…” button. open.

In the Tax rates and tax keys window, it is now necessary to explicitly store, as in the screenshot above, for the tax zone and the tax rate of the tax key, the tax-exempt and taxable intra-Community supplies (IGL – marked in red). This can be stored in JTL-Wawi version 1.0 then also for commodity groups, item categories and shipping types. Clicking the “OK” button will complete the process.

After that, the Tax Administration Sales window will look like the screenshot above. Now the invoices and credit notes can be successfully exported and imported to DATEV with JTL-Wawi Ameise, as can be seen in the screenshot below.
