MetaDirectory and DATEV replication – inactive clients are replicated
State of knowledge
August 2022
Observation
A client has been set to inactive in the DATEV workstation.
MetaDirectory replicates this client even though"Do not replicate inactive addressees" was enabled in the Replicator Wizard.
Example screenshot: Replicators – Database wizard – DATEV Basis options – Do not replicate inactive addressees
Possible reason/explanation
Mandate – clients – addressees
MetaDirectory replicates addressees, not clients, from the DATEV master data service. The elementary contacts in the DATEV master data service are the addressees. These can have the role of a client.
With the deactivation of a client, the addressee remains active.
Example screenshot: DATEV – Master data overviews – addressees active – mandate inactive
Solution/Procedure
If an addressee is not to be replicated, it must also be deactivated in the DATEV workstation.
