How do I create Direct Debits in DATEV?
When creating direct debits in DATEV for the first time, you will need to make sure the mandate information “Mandatsdaten” are setup and saved correctly.
You will only need to do this once, but it must be done for each debtor and will be valid as long as the validity of the associated mandate.
⚠️ Qonto only supports Basislastschriften as Mandatstyp, it is recommended to select Erstlastschrift as Ausführungsvariante.
In DATEV Unternehmen Online you can create direct debits via multiple entry points. The most common are:
- From Anwendungen → Belege you create Direct Debit requests directly from the list of invoices, by selecting at least one invoice from the list and click on “Einziehen”.
- From Anwendungen → Bank → Zahlungen you can create Direct Debits without an invoice, review the requests you created from the Belege section or set up Direct Debits using an .xml import.
For more information see the steps outlined in the DATEV help document.
When creating Direct Debits, always make sure all information is correct first before sending it to Qonto an avoid declined SDD requests. Please make sure that all mandatory information (e.g. IBAN, mandate reference and signature date) are correct.
The payment date “Fälligkeitsdatum” must be at least three working days in the future.
