Datev Unternehmen Online: how to add or edit KOST1 & KOST2

Datev Unternehmen Online (DUO) does currently not support automatic synchronization of custom fields (KOST1 and KOST2) to other systems.


Therefore, you must upload your custom field values into Klippa SpendControl. In this article we explain how you can add and edit KOST1, so that your values in Klippa are up-to-date again. The process is identical for KOST2


Please consult your tax advisor to obtain the full KOST1 and/or KOST2 list.
