SODA = the payroll entries from the different social secretariats, in a standardized digital format, developed and registered by CodaBox, easily imported directly in your accounting software. |
SODA benefits?
Thanks to the standardized 'SODA' format, the accounting entries, created by the social secretariats, can be imported directly into your accounting software.
SODA delivery?
SODA are transferred directly (in XML format) and are made available to the accounting office electronically and securely via the CodaBox API or other secure electronic channels (same channel as for the delivery of CODA).
What are the conditions for ordering SODA files?
- You are or you are becoming a CodaBox client and you order the CODA Service.
- You check:
- via our website whether your client works with a social secretariat that is a CodaBox partner, and
- whether your accounting software is compatible with SODA (e.g. Adsolut, Exact Online, Expert/M Plus, Horus, Octopus, Odoo, Popsy, Sage BOB, Top Account, Venice, Vero Count, Winauditor, WinBooks, Wings, Yuki).
★ This list is not exhaustive. If it does not include your software, please check with them.
- You order the SODA service for your client.
Note: No SODA without CODA. The SODA product is not available separately. SODA can only be delivered for the professional clients of the Accountant, under the condition that CodaBox already delivers CODA on the basis of a mandate granted for this purpose.

Why is the status of my order 'Archived'?
If the company is not yet known by this social secretariat, they will inform us they cannot process your SODA order. Our system will then automatically archive your order and the status will change to 'Archived' in MyCodaBox.
Save time and avoid having to re-order SODA by checking before ordering whether the company is already affiliated with the social secretariat.SODA not available in Yuki
