The native integration between Spendesk and DATEV UO allows you to have accurate data between your financial tools, and save time at month closing. This integration applies to the software DATEV Unternehmen Online, but to simplify reading of this documentation, we will use the short version DATEV UO.
Spendesk enables you to push payables natively to DATEV UO and payments via CSV files (that you can then upload into DATEV ReWe for accounting purposes). Spendesk exports data to DATEV UO via Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0.
