Tip: did you activate SODA for all companies this is relevant for?
If you have been receiving CODA for some time for several companies, we can analyse the transactions to see for which companies the SODA service is useful: we can automatically show you the companies that have made regular payments to a social secretariat in the last 12 months. 
➟ You can then instantly and easily activate SODA in bulk for all of the selected companies! 


Go to the Dashboard and check the Service activation rate.
In this example, there are 4 SODA mandates to activate (for 3 different companies):
For which companies can you still activate services? Check the service-activation rate.
  1. Click the orange part of the bar.

    You'll see the overview of the companies, each with the social secretariat in question and in the right column the number of payments made in the last 12 months.

  2. Click the button Order SODA for selection.

    These activations are part of the monthly flat fee for SODA (per environment, regardless of the number of companies or activations).



Troubleshooting


Why is the status of the request 'Archived'?
Is your client already affiliated with the social secretariat?

If the company is not yet known by this social secretariat, they will inform us of this. Our system will then automatically archive your request and the status will change to 'Archived' in MyCodabox.

Save time and avoid having to request SODA again, by checking beforehand whether the company is already affiliated with the social secretariat.

Are annual summaries included in SODA deliveries?
SODA files are delivered on a monthly basis. Annual summaries are not included in SODA deliveries (the same data would then be entered twice in the accounting).
