Hello,

By now GnuCash does not allow the import of Datev files. Datev is the
most widely used accounting software for tax professionals in Germany
and maybe other countries as well. So I guess it would be a very helpful
feature for GC.

I am working currently on an import filter to import transaction data in
Datev format to GC.
My approach is to first convert the Datev file into a csv file that is
conform to the GC export format.
Then in a second step I import the data with the standard GC import filter.

I got this approach running with some limitations.
Currently the account number gets not automatically assigned in GC, even
though I use the same numbers as in GC. The assignment of the columns in
the csv file has to be done manually too.
I guess this can be improved to work better.

Is there interest to integrate my Datev import filter to GC to provide
this functionality to other users?
If so, how would you want this to be implemented?
I would be glad to discuss this topic with people who are acquainted
with the GC import/export filters.

Best regards
Stefan
