This article explains how to reconcile your Moss Wallet Balance in DATEV using the Moss Balance Account you’ve set up during the DATEV integration. It is designed for accountants and bookkeepers handling monthly closings and ongoing financial reconciliation.
What You Should Know First
Each Moss Wallet (e.g. for debit or credit) generates its own statement. These must be reconciled individually.
Moss exports all transactions as journal entries into DATEV:
Spend transactions are exported as Expenses, reducing (crediting) your Moss Balance Account.
Top-ups or repayments are exported as Bank Posting, increasing (debiting) your Moss Balance Account.
Your Moss Balance Account in DATEV should always match the ending balance on your Moss Wallet statement, assuming:
All transactions are exported
All top-ups and payments are booked and imported correctly
How Moss Syncs Transactions into DATEV
When you connect the Moss account to DATEV:
You assign a Bank Account or Credit Card Account in DATEV as your Moss Balance Account.
All Moss transactions (card spend, top-ups, repayments) are exported as fully booked transactions, with correct debit and credit entries.
Moss handles the classification and reconciliation internally before export. DATEV only receives completed, correctly linked entries.
There is no need for manual matching in DATEV: all transactions are delivered reconciled.
Step-by-Step: Reconcile Your Moss Wallet Balance
Retrieve a Statement from Moss
Go to Wallet > Statements in Moss
Select a monthly statement or generate a custom PDF statement using "Get custom statement"
Always use PDF format, which includes:
Opening balance
Closing balance
Total activity for the period
⚠️ Avoid generating statements for the current day, as unsettled transactions may lead to mismatch.
Check DATEV Account Balance
In DATEV, navigate to your Moss Balance Account
Compare the Saldo (closing balance) of the DATEV account with the closing balance from the Moss statement
What to Do If Balances Don’t Match
Some transactions may still be open or not yet exported. Use the following checks:
Check for Unexported Card Transactions
In Moss: Go to Card Transactions > All
Filter for:
Status = Accepted
Export Status = Not Exported, Exporting, Ready for Export
Überprüfe die Gesamtsumme oben in der Tabelle.
The total amount here reflects transactions that are not yet exported to DATEV and therefore missing in the GL.
Wallet Payments (Invoices & Reimbursements)
Go to Export > Balance Movements
Identify
Unexported invoice payments
Unexported reimbursement payments
Unexported Wallet Top-ups
Export or note the total of these unexported payments.
Perform the Reconciliation
To match your Moss Wallet Account in your GL with the Moss statement:
Statement End Balance
+ Total Unexported Spend Transactions
+ Total Unexported Payments (invoices, reimbursements)
- Unexported Wallet Top-Ups
= General Ledger Moss Balance
If this equation holds true, your Moss Wallet is fully reconciled.
✅ Best Practices
Reconcile only after all pending exports have been processed.
Schedule a monthly reconciliation workflow to match your monthly closing routine.
