Setting up Memtime with DATEV EO Comfort (on your own terminal servers)

Memtime can be connected directly to DATEV EO Comfort via the DATEV Connect URL.

The DATEV EO Comfort integration is available only on the Memtime Premium plan. 

DATEVasp users: You can find all the instructions 🔗 here.

DATEV EO Classic users: You can find the relevant instructions 🔗 here.

Depending on your server setup, some steps can be done by you, while others must be handled by your IT team or your DATEV partner.

Creating a Memtime account (step for Memtime Admin users)

1. Open our website:

🔗 https://login.memtime.com/sign-up

2. Create an account.

During registration, you will be asked if you want to add a Connected App.

You can select DATEV EO Comfort.
 




3. You will be asked to enter your DATEV Connect URL.
 
This step can be performed immediately with the next section of this article or skipped by checking the Continue without URL box:




Finding and entering the DATEV Connect URL

The DATEV Connect URL is required to connect Memtime with DATEV EO Comfort.

Case 1: DATEVasp environment

If you use the DATEV Connect interface via a DATEV ASP server, the URL is always the same:

http://localhost:58454

Case 2: Own server environment

If you are not using a DATEVasp environment and your Service User has the required permissions, the URL usually looks like this:

https://kanzlei:58452

You can find the URL in the DATEV desktop at:

Organization → Base software → Communication → DATEV Connect setup


 

If you do not have access to this section in DATEV, your IT team or server administrator can provide the URL or enable the required permissions.

Entering the URL in the Customer Portal (step for Memtime Admins)

You can enter the URL in the Customer Portal using the following steps:

  1. Log in to the portal: 🔗 https://portal.memtime.com/

  2. Go to the Connected Apps section.

  3. Click Manage for DATEV EO Comfort.

  4. Click Edit connection and enter the URL.


Entering the URL in the Memtime app (step for Memtime Admins)

The URL can also be entered directly in the installed Memtime app using the following steps:

  1. Open the Memtime app.

  2. Click on Menu (☰) → Connected Apps.

  3. Scroll down in the DATEV settings and click on the Set URL option.



DATEV API Connection check (mandatory step for IT Support)

Before continuing with the setup, please make sure to do a DATEV API connection check.

Using the following guide, your IT team can test whether the DATEV Connect interface is reachable. This helps avoid connection issues early on:

🔗 DATEV API Connection Check

📢 Please always complete this step or pass it on to your IT team before continuing with the setup.

Installing Memtime (step for IT Support)

The installation depends on your DATEV environment.

DATEVasp

In DATEVasp environments, a so-called approval request often needs to be submitted to DATEV before Memtime can be installed.

More information and the request form can be found here:

🔗 DATEV Help: DATEVasp service portal: Connect third-party solution

Relevant section: 3.3 "Checking and connecting third-party solutions".


DATEV SmartIT

Currently, it is not yet possible to install Memtime in a DATEV SmartIT environment.


DATEV Partner Solutions / Managed IT

If your IT is managed by a DATEV partner or an external service provider, installations may need prior approval.

Please ask your IT partner to install Memtime.

Memtime is already listed in the DATEV marketplace and approved by DATEV.


Self-managed IT

If your firm manages its own IT, you can download and install Memtime directly.

Managing Memtime App Updates

📢 Please review this article after installing Memtime to ensure that no update requests interfere with the user experience in the future.


Servers with roaming profiles and special settings

If you use servers with roaming profiles, please make sure that you have Memtime 4.12+ installed. 

Firewalls, proxy servers, etc. can sometimes block the connection between Memtime and DATEV EO Comfort, while Windows Group policies can block Memtime's automatic tracking.

In this case, please review the following articles:

🔗 Settings for Firewalls, Proxy Servers etc.

🔗 Memtime is not tracking (blocked by Windows group policy)

Starting Memtime and authenticating the Service User

1. Open Memtime on the server environment where it was installed, and go through the app setup process.

2. To get the most out of Memtime with DATEV in a team setting, we recommend authenticating a Service User in Memtime for API access. Navigate to:

Memtime app → Project management → DATEV EO Comfort → Settings

3. Scroll down to Advanced actions and enter the service user's login credentials there.


This step only needs to be performed once and will then apply to all users within the same Memtime account.

Only a Memtime admin user can perform this step. Users with app access only cannot view or configure these settings.

How to find the credentials for the Service User

Recommended Option

We recommend using the credentials of an existing user with Main Admin rights in DATEV.

To enter the credentials in your Memtime app, please contact the user in your team who has these permissions in DATEV and ask them to authenticate as the Service User.

Please try the recommended authentication option for the Service User first before considering the next option.


Alternative Option

If you don't have a Main Admin user in DATEV at all, or if you'd still like to create a completely new DATEV Service User, you can follow these instructions:

🔗Set up a service user for Memtime

If your IT team has already created a new Service User for the Memtime app, the DATEV Service User username and password will be visible under:

DATEV → User Management → Service User → Windows PC


 

Authentication with DATEV in Memtime (step for all Memtime users)

All users must complete this step in their own Memtime app.

1. In Memtime, navigate to:

Memtime App → Project Management → DATEV EO Comfort → Settings

2. Click on Authenticate and log in with your DATEV server credentials.

3. Memtime is designed to automatically fill in the username for you.

Enter your password and click on Save.

4. Once you have successfully authenticated, your DATEV clients will be automatically imported into Memtime.

You can then record times for your clients directly in the Time Tracking tab or check the current import settings for the DATEV EO Comfort integration in the Settings section.

 

Inviting other users to your Memtime account (optional)

After connecting your Memtime account to the DATEV EO Comfort integration, you can invite other team members to your Memtime account so they can test or use Memtime with you.

This step is optional. If you want to invite additional users, you can follow this guide:

🔗 How can I invite new users to my account?

Once invited, invited users can start using Memtime once it's installed by your IT team. However, you can come back to this step later at any time.
