sevDesk Integration

Every supplier invoice in sevDesk, captured and coded for you

Tailride finds your invoices wherever they land — inbox, supplier portals, messaging apps — reads every line with AI, and posts them into sevDesk as vouchers with your accounts, the right VAT rule and the original PDF attached. Around five minutes to set up.

Getting supplier invoices into sevDesk: your options

sevDesk has a few built-in ways to file documents. They handle the paperwork you already hold — the collecting, coding and checking still land on you.

Manual entry

Slowest

Open each PDF and type supplier, date, net, VAT and account into sevDesk by hand. Fine for a handful a month; past a couple of dozen it eats evenings.

Upload + document recognition

Half the job

sevDesk reads documents you upload and pre-fills the header fields. You still have to hunt down every file yourself, and check the account and tax rule on each one.

Email to your sevDesk inbox

Limited

Forwarding invoices to your sevDesk upload address drops files into the document box. Handy — but portal invoices never arrive by email, and nothing comes out coded.

You stop collecting and coding. Tailride pulls invoices from every source, reads them in full, checks the figures and the VAT treatment, and writes a finished voucher into sevDesk — booked to your accounts, not merely filed.

Gathers invoices from inbox, portals and chat automatically
Every line, VAT rate and total read by AI — no per-supplier setup
Coded to your own sevDesk accounts, SKR03 or SKR04
Lands as a sevDesk voucher with the source document attached
Reverse charge and foreign VAT flagged — never silently zeroed

Set it up once, then leave it running

Four short steps connect Tailride to sevDesk — no developer, no plugin.

1

Create your Tailride account

Sign up for free. Tailride pools invoices from email, uploads and web portals into one workspace. Start free →

2

Link sevDesk

In sevDesk open Extensions → API, copy your API token and paste it into Tailride. Nothing is installed inside sevDesk; bookkeeping system 2.0 is required.

3

Invoices arrive automatically

From then on Tailride watches your inbox, grabs portal invoices through its browser extension, even takes receipts over WhatsApp and Telegram — reading each one in full.

4

Export to sevDesk

Check the coding or let the AI handle it, hit export, and the voucher lands in sevDesk with accounts, tax rule and PDF — as a draft, or booked outright if you prefer.

What you get with Tailride for sevDesk

Built for German businesses and tax advisors who run their bookkeeping in sevDesk and want vouchers in without hand-keying.

Pulls from your mailbox

Connect Gmail, Outlook or IMAP and Tailride lifts invoices as they arrive — attachments and in-body invoices alike, no forwarding rules to babysit.

Reaches supplier portals

Plenty of invoices never hit your inbox. The Tailride browser extension grabs them straight from portals like Amazon, Meta and Telekom while you're signed in. Browse portals →

Reads every field with AI

No per-supplier templates to build. The AI recognises supplier, invoice number, dates, net, VAT rate and line items on whatever layout and language it meets.

Codes to your chart of accounts

Tailride syncs your sevDesk accounts — SKR03, SKR04 or your own — and books each line to a real account of yours. Corrections you make stick for that supplier next time.

Handles VAT the safe way

Tailride checks the rate on the invoice against what your sevDesk tax rule permits. Reverse charge and foreign VAT come up for review instead of being posted as 0% behind your back.

Posts vouchers with the PDF

One click turns a captured invoice into a sevDesk voucher — supplier, accounts, tax rule and the source document attached for audit-proof records. Credit notes included.

Whether you're a business or a firm

Small & medium businesses

You keep the books in sevDesk and want supplier invoices in faster — without adding a person to do the typing.

  • Trade document entry for automatic capture
  • Close the month faster, with fewer corrections
  • Works with any sevDesk plan on bookkeeping system 2.0

Tax advisors & bookkeepers

You run sevDesk for a portfolio of clients and need pre-accounting that holds up on every single file.

sevDesk integration — common questions

How does Tailride connect to sevDesk?
Through sevDesk's official API. In sevDesk open Extensions → API, copy the API token and paste it into Tailride. Nothing gets installed inside sevDesk and you can revoke the token whenever you like. sevDesk bookkeeping system 2.0 is required.
What do invoices look like once they reach sevDesk?
They arrive as vouchers: supplier contact, invoice date and number, net and VAT amounts, the expense accounts from your own chart of accounts, the applicable tax rule, and the original PDF attached to the document.
Why not just use sevDesk's built-in document recognition?
That reads documents you have already uploaded and pre-fills the header. Tailride goes and collects the invoices first — from your mailbox and from supplier portals that never email anything — pulls full line-item detail, filters duplicates, applies your account coding, and only then writes the voucher.
Does Tailride assign the right accounts and tax rule?
Yes. Tailride syncs your sevDesk chart of accounts and codes each line to a real account of yours, then checks the chosen tax rule against the rate on the invoice. If the two conflict, the export stops and asks rather than posting a rate that would be wrong.
How are reverse charge and foreign invoices handled?
Reverse-charge invoices are posted with the reverse-charge tax rule when your account allows one, and flagged for review when it does not. VAT that sevDesk cannot book — foreign rates such as UK VAT — is raised for review instead of being quietly dropped to zero. Invoices in another currency keep that currency on the voucher.
Are vouchers created as drafts or booked straight away?
Your choice. By default each voucher lands as a draft for someone to check in sevDesk; switch the setting and Tailride books it outright. You can also let coded invoices export automatically as they arrive, so nothing waits on a person clicking export.
What does it cost?
Billing is per processed document, never per seat or per client. A free tier covers 10 invoices a month with no card required. See pricing →
How is my data handled?
Documents are encrypted in transit and protected by access controls. Mailbox access is read-only and used only to locate financial documents, and Tailride does not use customer data to train AI models. Data is never sold and is shared only with the service providers that operate the product, under contract. Tailride is an EU company and a Data Processing Agreement is available on request.
