I am using the German GIFI - that is linked in anyway. I was not sure  
what the DATEV was.

My assumption is that there are normally two Charts of Account, the  
(DATEV - regular ?) and the GIFI. The regular one is mostly visible  
and the GIFI is there to be linked to and would be available for  
outside financial audits, etc.  Is this the way it works?

Maybe doing the DATEV in English and the GIFI in German? Have not  
tried this.


The coding part I can figure out, I was just wondering if there was  
an easier way that was already done. Some hints here would be helpful  
though.
