How are transactions in foreign currencies handled after the export via DATEV and how is the conversion displayed when posting in DATEV?
Moss always exports credit card transactions in foreign currencies (not EUR) in the original currency and the conversion rate to DATEV.
The conversion rate used in the export is identical to the one used by Moss, so that the amount in euro posted in DATEV corresponds exactly to the amount in euro on the credit card invoice from Moss.
If Moss charges foreign currency fees, i.e. the fees for conversion / FX fees, these can be exported as a separate entry line
If FX fees are exported to DATEV as a separate line, the conversion rate in the accounting record corresponds to the conversion excluding the fee
If FX fees are not exported to DATEV as a separate line, the rate in the entry corresponds to the conversion rate taking into account / including the foreign currency fee.
