Lexware offers a DATEV interface. With this, it is currently possible to upload the data in the DATEV format CSV.

This interface must be activated, if not already done. You can do this yourself in your Lexware software. The way to activate depends on your software (buchhaltung plus; financial office plus or Buchhaltung premium).

In the menu "Bearbeiten" you will find the item "Firma", or "Firmenangabe" from there you can activate the DATEV interface. A detailed instruction from LexSHOP GmbH & Co. KG we have linked for you here (only available in german).
