The accounting system in Lexolution was developed based on the DATEV accounting system. Exporting accounting data via the standard DATEV interface ensures seamless processing of the data in DATEV-compatible accounting systems. In the delivery database, you have access to the SKR03 or SKR04 chart of accounts. These charts of accounts include some automatic accounts, which trigger tax transactions in the DATEV program without any additional input. For accounts without automation, tax transactions are triggered using a booking key (abbreviated as BU below).
An example in SKR03:
You book the automatic account 8400 Revenue 19% VAT in Lexolution or use the account 8200 Revenue and additionally enter BU 3 VAT, full rate in the BU field.
In Lexolution, the configuration of tax matters distinguishes between BU-R, the booking key for invoicing, and BU-Z, the booking key for payment.
When importing bookings into a DATEV-compatible booking system, the corresponding tax transactions are triggered, and VAT returns can be created in the external booking system. In Lexolution, both input tax and VAT are booked to the accounts defined under account functions by specifying the tax rate in the Tax Rate field and the type of tax in the K-Tax and GK-Tax fields; unlike external accounting programs, the accounting evaluations, which are directly based on Lexolution data, rely on these specifications.
The configuration examples available in Lexolution are merely examples. It is strongly recommended to establish and review the configurations in the accounting area with your tax advisor before you start creating invoices, recording expenses, and making bookings.
Once the configurations for accounting have been established and bookings have been recorded, the configuration should not be changed without due consideration. *
