What it does
Papierkram combines quotes, invoices, project time, receipt records and financial reports. Its German accounting workflows include an income-and-expense calculation and a VAT-report export route.
Project time in Papierkram sits alongside the bookkeeping records rather than in a separate timesheet tool. The TimeTracker records work, while project views and cash-flow reports help inspect the activity behind the accounts. A digital document archive and bank synchronization connect source records with financial administration.
For the German VAT-report workflow described on the site, the output can be exported as an XML file for the Elster portal. Keep that export step distinct from the bookkeeping itself. Document templates can also be adjusted with letterhead and a CSS editor when a business needs a consistent invoice layout.
