Export data: CSV, documents and accounting archives

Choose the export for the data type. List CSVs, document PDFs and accounting archives contain different information.

Prerequisites
  • You can access the data and its export action.

Export CRM, network and invoice lists

CRM and Network provide CSV exports; invoices export their filtered list. CSV is a table, not an archive of all original files.

  1. Open the correct module and organization.
  2. For invoices, set and verify list filters.
  3. Select Export/Download and inspect rows, columns and text encoding.

Export time and documents

Time reports provide a work-time CSV. Knowledgebase exports the current document as PDF; invoice PDFs belong to individual invoices.

  1. Select the time-report range and export its CSV.
  2. For knowledgebase or invoice PDFs, open the specific record and its download action.
  3. Verify content and date range before sharing.

Understand accounting archives

The authenticated /api/accounting/export endpoint provides a ZIP; the current accounting UI has no dedicated button. It contains accounting-data.json, manifest.json with checksums/sizes, and related original-files. It is generic JSON, not a ready-made DATEV or BMD import.

  1. Confirm the required format with the recipient.
  2. As an authorized signed-in user, open /api/accounting/export on your app instance.
  3. Unpack and inspect the manifest, data and originals.
  4. For the 250 MB original-file limit error, contact the operator; the current UI provides no export-period filter.

Common pitfalls

  • Not an all-module backup

    Each export covers specific data types.

  • A BMD profile is not a BMD adapter

    A recorded profile/mapping snapshot does not convert the generic archive into a BMD import format.
