Why is Moss asking you to fill in accounts before you can export to DATEV Unternehmen Online (DUO)?
At a glance
To keep every credit‑card transaction balanced from swipe to bank settlement, Moss books each step against a dedicated DATEV account. That is why the export setup asks for three account numbers below:
Moss field | Role in a posting logic | Why DUO requires it |
Moss balance account | Reflects the running balance of your Moss account.
When using Moss credit card (with a credit limit) most suitable GL accounts are:
| Your moss statement is reconciled against this account. |
Cash-in-transit account | Catches the bank debit or top‑up that pays off the statement.
Most suitable GL accounts are:
| Ensures that funds that are leaving your bank account are reconciled with your Moss balance. |
Default supplier account | A temporary supplier for every single card expense. If you do not use "Supplier accounting" option in Moss then a supplier specified in this field (ex.: Moss card) is used when exporting card transactions to Datev. | Datev DUO only accepts card postings with the supplier specified. You need at least a dummy default supplier to enable exports. |
Note: The "Default supplier account" (collective creditor) is required when posting card transactions to DATEV. Even if you do not plan to post any transactions to this supplier, DATEV still requires the account to be specified for API exports.
