TailridesevDesk
Automatically create vouchers in sevDesk with Tailride.
Overview
Tailride creates vouchers in sevDesk — with DATEV expense accounts, the matching tax rule, supplier contact matching, and the original PDF attached.
Prerequisites
- A sevDesk account on Bookkeeping system 2.0
- A sevDesk API token
Setting Up the Integration
In sevDesk, open Extensions → API, reveal your API token and copy it
In Tailride, open the Integrations tab, click Connect on the sevDesk card, paste the token, and click Test connection, then Connect
The setup dialog opens: sync your chart of accounts, optionally import coding history, and configure automatic export. See Accounting Software for the full setup flow.
Export Settings
- Save exported vouchers as editable drafts — when enabled, vouchers land as drafts; otherwise they are booked directly
- Default account — the DATEV expense account used as fallback for uncoded lines
- Tax rule — the VAT rule applied to the voucher (the dropdown is filtered to rules compatible with the chosen account)
sevDesk requires one VAT rule for the whole voucher. Tip: keep the 0% non-deductible rule only for cases where input VAT cannot be claimed (foreign invoices, non-VAT-registered businesses) — domestic invoices export with their matching VAT rule.
How Export Works
- Each invoice becomes a sevDesk voucher (draft or booked, per your setting); credit notes book as negative amounts
- The supplier contact is matched or created automatically
- Line items keep their coded DATEV accounts when compatible with the chosen VAT rule; otherwise the fallback account is used
- If sevDesk already contains a matching voucher, Tailride links to it instead of creating a duplicate
- The original PDF is uploaded and attached to the voucher
Exports run automatically when auto-export is enabled, or manually via Send to sevdesk in the invoice actions menu.
Limitations
- One VAT rule per voucher (a sevDesk constraint) — mixed-VAT invoices use the rule you selected
- Currency conversion for unsupported currencies is not available for sevDesk
- We can't modify or delete existing sevDesk data
- Already-exported invoices are skipped (a single invoice can be re-uploaded explicitly)
