Troubleshooting |
Why is the status of the request 'Archived'?
If you've entered a SODA request while the company is not yet known by this social secretariat, they will inform us of this. The status will change to 'Archived' in MyCodabox.
There are two ways to avoid this:
- Do your SODA requests based on the overview we offer with the number of mandates to be activated.
We automatically show the companies that have made regular payments to a social secretariat in the last 12 months. From this overview, you can easily request SODA for all selected companies. - If you wish to request SODA individually for each company, make sure to check beforehand whether the company is already affiliated with the social secretariat.
