Instructions: SUSA export from DATEV

This guide describes how the accounting data must be exported from DATEV as a trial balance (“SuSa”) so that they can be imported into Finokapi as a basis for your financial planning & analysis.

Please note that a SuSa file always relates to an entire fiscal year. We recommend that you take into account at least 2 previous years when exporting for the first time and create a new export every month for the current fiscal year.

Step 1: Open ASCII-Export in DATEV

Please complete the following steps to create the SuSa files in the appropriate format for Finokapi:

  • In DATEV Arbeitsplatz, open a fiscal year of the desired accounting client.
  • Now, in the menu on the upper left, click "Bestand" -> "Exportieren" -> "ASCII-Daten".
DATEV interface, SuSA file export

Step 2: Configure Finokapi format

  • In the new window, click on “Formatverwaltung” -> “Format einspielen” and select the Finokapi SuSa template. (This step only needs to be carried out once before the first export.)
  • Now select the new format “Finokapi SuSa” in the format selection below "Summen und Salden".

Step 3: Save SuSa file on your device

  • Please specify the storage location and a file name with the extension “.csv” and make sure that the accounts included are set from 1 to 99999 and that the two checkmarks are checked.
  • At the bottom right, click Export -> Export and Close. The SuSa file can now be found in the previously selected storage location.
