L10n DE Accounting App (l10n_de_accounting_app)

A curated catalogue of the Odoo Community Association (OCA) modules we use to run a complete German accounting workflow on Odoo: dunning, bank statement import, DATEV exchange with the tax adviser, VAT return preparation, SEPA payments, and DIN 5008 compliant PDFs.

The list is organised by accounting function rather than by repository, so each section answers a single question — *"which module handles X?"* — and gives the OCA repo it lives in, with a short note on why we picked it (and where there are trade-offs between alternatives, what to weigh).

Everything listed here is either installed or qualified as the default choice for the corresponding need.

Reference: OCA's own *must-have accounting modules* list at <https://www.odoo-community.org/list-of-must-have-oca-accounting-modules>.

Each repository linked below lives under <https://github.com/OCA>. Module names are given without a version pin — use the branch matching your Odoo version.

Two alternatives — pick by the feature you need.

- **account_invoice_overdue_reminder** — Advantage: handles credit notes.

## DATEV

From [OCA/l10n-germany](https://github.com/OCA/l10n-germany):

**Workflow choice:**

- **datev_export_dtvf** — Exports all accounting entries in DTVF format. No PDF attachments.
