Public descriptions may reference Einnahmen-Ausgaben-Rechnung, Umsatzsteuervoranmeldung (UVA), E1/E1a-related reporting, Zusammenfassende Meldung (ZM), FinanzOnline workflows, PSD2/bank reconciliation, DATEV-compatible exports where configured, and human review/freigabe. These terms describe product-supported workflow areas, not public tax advice. For E/A workflows, payment status matters: unpaid documents are not treated as final booked E/A records. Bank matching or explicit payment data is part of the workflow signal before review and approval. AI support prepares extraction, plausibility checks and booking suggestions; accounting/tax-relevant finalization remains controlled by authorized humans. ## Short answer blocks ### What is alven? alven is a web-based accounting and tax workflow platform for Austria.
