What to do if you see the message “The job-id is invalid because the corresponding data transfer job (…) is already finalized."

The cause:

When this error comes up, all of the Pleo expenses in the queue have failed to go through the Datev. This happens when using a module in Datev called “Belegfreigabe online”. Unfortunately, this module does not work with Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0, which is the mandatory module for the Pleo integration. This is a limitation on Datev's side.

The solution:

Due to how Datev works, there is no fix as such. The workarounds are to either

• Disable Belegfreigabe online (if not needed)

• Switch from using the DUO integration to using a file export such as Datev CSV
