XML Export
Export data in DATEV XML format (“DATEV Online”).
Overview
The XML exporter generates:
- One archive XML file (references all documents)
- One XML file per invoice/credit memo
- Optional XSD validation (archive + each document XML)
Configuration
Configure under: Stores >Configuration > MageB2B > DATEV Export Pro > XML Export Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable XML Export | Shows XML settings in admin UI |
| XML Schema Version | Version used for namespaces + XSD validation (e.g. v060) |
| Validate XML against XSD | Validates archive + document files |
| XML Encoding | Config option (current generator writes UTF-8) |
XML Structure
The archive file has an
Document files are nested based on the mapping keys (dot notation).
Field Mapping
XML mapping is configured as JSON:
- JSON keys = XML field paths (dot notation creates nested elements)
- JSON values = expressions evaluated against
invoice.*/creditmemo.*
Example mapping (invoice):
{ "header.invoiceNumber": "{{invoice.increment_id}}", "header.invoiceDate": "{{invoice.created_at}}", "amount.grossAmount": "{{invoice.grand_total}}", "amount.currencyCode": "{{invoice.order_currency_code}}", "customer.firstName": "{{invoice.billing_address.firstname}}", "customer.lastName": "{{invoice.billing_address.lastname}}" }Tip: Use Mapping Language to format values (dates, conditionals, functions).
Output Files
- Archive:
var/export/datev/DATEV_XML__ _ .xml - Documents:
var/export/datev/invoice_/.xml creditmemo_.xml - ZIP (when “Download Documents” is enabled):
var/export/datev/DATEV_XML_with:_ _ .zip document.xml(archive)documents/*.xmlpdfs/*.pdf
Validation
If “Validate XML against XSD” is enabled, the exporter validates:
- the archive XML file
- each generated document XML file
