# Verify ASCII write is enabled

`GET /custom/datev/check-write-permission`

This endpoint returns whether DATEV's Lohnimportdatenservice is enabled, which is the service required to submit [ASCII files](/hris/v1/post-datev-passthrough). It works for both DATEV HR and DATEV LAUDS integrations.

<Note>This check says nothing about JSON writes through the [LAUDS API](/hris/v1/post-passthrough-tool-api). Those go through the Lohnaustauschdatenservice that every DATEV LAUDS integration connects with, so they are always available on DATEV LAUDS.</Note>
