Pliant x DATEV: Accounting for credit cards in DATEV

DATEV has confirmed the technically error-free data exchange using the test scenarios agreed with the manufacturer for this integration.

The accounting export synchronizes both the existing receipts and the credit card transactions including pre-accounting data with DATEV. The data includes:

• G/L accounts

• Suppliers/merchants

• VAT rates

• Cost centers and cost units

• Receipt numbers

• Merchant-specific accounting rules

• Receipts

As a result, all credit card transactions and the attached receipts are visible in DATEV.

Before you can transfer transaction data from Pliant to DATEV Unternehmen Online (DUO) via the API connection, you must set up DATEV and Pliant correctly. Find out more about the requirements for the DATEV interface in our help center.

Our customer support will help you configure all the settings.

Once you have met all the requirements, connect to DATEV via the Pliant app. With one click, you can initiate the initial linking process and connect your Pliant account to DATEV-Datenservice. Read how to set up the DATEV interface via DATEV Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0 in our help center.

With the team function, you can divide employees into teams and create cost centers that allow you to track your company's expenses based on your cost center structure. Use the project function to map your cost unit structure and use it for the pre-assignment of your transactions.

To export from Pliant to DATEV, select the setting that suits you best from the two options.

For all Pliant credit cards, you do not need to book a credit card statement as an account statement in DATEV. The statement is the relevant document that provides information about the account balance and serves as a cross-check against the balance in the system. It is therefore relevant for the billing process, but otherwise requires no further attention.

All of a company's card transactions are consolidated on a single Pliant credit card statement. Each physical and virtual corporate credit card is billed to a personal Pliant card account and under the same credit limit.

After completing the postings, you can immediately see that the balance from the system on the DATEV account sheet matches the balance on the account statement supplied by Pliant.
