  • You've already followed these steps to associate one or two tag groups in Pleo with KOST1 and KOST2 in DATEV Unternehmen online. And:

  • Optional step: If the tag group has completely changed, re-name the tag group. 

In your tag group overview in Pleo, click the three dots next to the affected group, and rename the group (e.g., from "projects" to "locations" or vice versa).


  • Where to find archived tags

If you follow the above instructions, old tags will not be deleted; they'll be moved to the "Archived" section in Pleo:
