Written by Thomas Heudecker

Set up credit card export

This article explains how to set up the export of credit card transactions to your accounting system and what requirements apply depending on your export type.

You can find your export type under Settings > Integrations.

Note: Set up the export before issuing the first credit cards. Only admins can adjust the export settings in Candis.

Compatible systems

Candis supports credit card export for the following systems:

  • DATEV (via Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0, Buchungsdatenservice, or DATEV format CSV)

  • SAP Business One

  • Sage 100

  • Microsoft Business Central

  • Agenda

  • Sesamsoft

  • Additional systems via Candis CSV and Candis API

Open export settings

In Candis, go to Settings and select the Credit Cards tab. This is where you manage all credit card export settings.

Setup by export type

Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0

Requirements:

  • The Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0 is ordered for your organization and the permission is stored on the DATEV authentication medium

  • The Kassenbuch online application in DATEV Unternehmen online is activated for you

  • The Belege online application in DATEV Unternehmen online is activated for you

Setup:

  1. First, connect DATEV Kassenbuch online to Candis. You can find step-by-step instructions in the article "Connect Kassenbuch online".

  2. In Candis, go to Settings, open the Credit Cards tab, and click Set credit card account number.

  3. Enter the DATEV cash account (e.g. 3610 in SKR04) and the transit and credit card clearing account (e.g. 1460 transit account in SKR04).

Note: The accounts payable posting option is not available with the Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0.

Buchungsdatenservice

Requirements:

  • Your company uses the Candis Plus or Max package

Setup:

  1. In Candis, go to Settings, open the Credit Cards tab, and click Add account number.

  2. Enter the transit and credit card clearing account (e.g. 1460 transit account in SKR04).

  3. Confirm your entry with the green checkmark.

DATEV format (CSV), Candis CSV, and other export types

This applies to accounting programs such as Lexware, ADDISON, Simba, Sesamsoft, and Agenda.

  1. In Candis, go to Settings, open the Credit Cards tab, and click Add account number.

  2. Enter the transit and credit card clearing account.

  3. Confirm your entry with the green checkmark.

Set up accounts payable posting (optional)

If you want to post credit card receipts using accounts payable, enable the Post credit card receipt as accounts payable setting in the Credit Cards tab under Settings.

Once enabled, Candis treats credit card expenses in the export as accounts payable postings. You can then book them directly in your accounting system via the vendor accounts.

Tip: Accounts payable posting lets you record expenses precisely per vendor and analyze them more easily in your accounting system.
