DATEV training and adoption

Turn standardised accounting rules into simple actions, from the document to the deadline.

DATEV covers accounting, payroll and tax filing, with highly standardised rules specific to German law. Its functional depth is its value, and it is also what makes some journeys hard to remember when you only use them at each deadline.

 Our solutions

DATEV adoption for your users.

Deliver help, training and announcements directly inside DATEV, without touching the application.

01

Support both sides of the file

The accountant at the firm and the person entering data at the client see neither the same screens nor the same stakes. Help has to cover both ends, otherwise the file comes back incomplete.

02

Make entries and deadlines reliable

A wrong contra account, an unattached document or a missed filing deadline cost the firm time and expose the client. These are the steps to secure on the screen itself.

03

Take the load off your key users

After go-live, key users absorb the day-to-day questions at the expense of their own work. Help displayed on the screen takes over the most repetitive questions.

 Measurable results

From first steps to autonomy.

 Typical user journey

Continuous support inside DATEV.

Step 1

Preparing for go-live

Each job role replays its own actions — post an invoice, create a third party, run a report — on a replica of DATEV, without touching real data.

Step 2

Contextual help

At the slightest doubt inside the application, the steps to follow appear on the screen where the action happens, with the points of attention specific to your business rules.

Step 3

Measurement & improvement

Real usage is measured screen by screen: which sites drop off, which step blocks, which content should be revised first.

Frequently asked questions

DATEV adoption: your questions.

How do you succeed in a DATEV go-live?
Moving to DATEV changes the daily actions of very different job roles: accounting, procurement, sales, logistics. The method is to have them practise before the switchover on a simulated replica with K-STUDIO, to certify them before go-live, then to keep the guidance K-NOW running through hypercare— the set-up Knowmore deploys on the ERPs it supports.
How do you make exchanges with the accounting firm reliable?
The quality of the file is decided at data entry: contra account, attached document, period, VAT rate. These rules are recalled directly in the field concerned at the client, at the moment of entry, which avoids back and forth with the firm.
How do you support teams spread across several sites and languages?
Help content is tailored by site, by job role and by language, then delivered inside the application without touching DATEV.
How do you measure ERP adoption?
K-VALUE measures usage screen by screen: which sites really apply the process, which fields stay empty, which workflow steps are bypassed. Improvements are then prioritised on observed rather than reported usage.
