C&C Project 03

From receipt to ELSTER filing

Code receipts, match bank statements, file the VAT return

Receipts from email and a defined folder come together automatically with the online bank statements, without sevDesk or any other external accounting software. Details are recognised, receipts are coded to accounts, payments are matched and the advance VAT return is filed directly via ELSTER after approval.

End-user workflow: receipts from an email inbox and a defined folder are read, classified and checked; faulty bookings are detected, account coding is created automatically and only exceptions require business review.

The human part: resolve the marked exceptions and approve the advance VAT return. Automation handles collecting, entering, coding and matching recurring cases.

The role of C&C

Codex and Claude Code delivered the flow from receipt intake and bank data retrieval through ELSTER filing, including implementation, testing, peer review and deployment.

Technical background: IMAP and folder intake, e-invoice parsing, OCR with AI post-processing, rule-based account coding, PSD2 account access, payment matching, VAT calculation and ELSTER filing via the official ERiC interface.
