6. In order for the recorded cash movements to be transferred to accounting, they must be prepared and recorded. They should therefore be checked for correctness in advance. Once the cash movements have been checked, they can be transferred to us in the cash movements by clicking on“Festschreiben & Bereitstellen”/”commit & provide”. To be on the safe side, this action must be confirmed once again. By committing, the cash register is automatically transferred to the accounting department.

If a cash movement that has already been entered and recorded needs to be corrected, the incorrect record must first be reversed and then re-recorded. A new cash movement is recorded in accordance with the instructions in the record cash register section.
To cancel an incorrect record, an incorrect expense must be record as an income on the same date and then the correct expense must be recorded.

Notice: In the case of an income, the principle must simply be reversed. This means that an incorrect receipt must be recorded as an expense on the same date and then the correct receipt.

For example:

The originally recorded cash movement was as follows:

This will now be canceled:

And subsequently corrected:

Notice: To enter the correction posting, the corresponding receipt must be uploaded again. The cash register entry can then be carried out with the correct amount.

The process can then be tracked in the cash movements.

After successful correction, please commit the cash register as described above under record cash register.

With the annual transfer, the closing balance of the old year is transferred as the opening balance for the new financial year. The opening balance can no longer be changed.

DATEV recommends that you only carry out the annual transfer once the previous year has been completed. Even if your cash register has not yet been closed for the old year, you can still carry out the annual transfer. After the annual transfer, the account number of the cash register can be changed as long as no cash transactions have been recorded in the new financial year.

If subsequent changes are made in the old financial year after the annual transfer, a correction entry is necessary in the current financial year. Please note that you can no longer change the opening balance!

The DATEV click tutorial offers detailed instructions for the annual transfer.
