Stefan, The Datev format is a CSV format. It should be possible to simply assign the Headers to the appropriate columns in the Datev file I can't remember if the CSV importer remembers the header assignments to specific columns but I think it does and if it does this can be stored as an input format and used whenever you wish to import Datev files. The assignment of the external account number to an account in GnuCash should only have to be done once unless that association changes.
