SODA in brief!


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.


Benefits?

Thanks to the standardized 'SODA' format, the accounting entries, created by the social secretariats, can be imported directly into your accounting software.


Ordering?

How to order SODA files


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).


Good to know: SODA files are delivered on a monthly basis: annual summaries are not included in SODA deliveries (otherwise the same data would be entered twice in the accounting).

Who can order SODA?
  1. You are or you are becoming a CodaBox client and you order the CODA Service.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. 



SODA pricing


The SODA service is charged per environment (accounting software) via:

  • A one-off fee per mandate which is charged 1x when the mandate is activated.
  • A monthly fee per environment* There is no cumulation as for CODA: the fixed monthly fee for this service is charged once per month per environment (regardless of the number of companies for which SODA is active and regardless of the number of social secretariats from which SODA are retrieved).


When is the monthly cost of the service charged?
As soon as you have an active SODA mandate and you receive SODA files on your environment.

Why is the cost of the SODA service low?
Because the price does not depend on the number of companies on each of your environments. If you have 200 companies on your Expert environment, the price remains unchanged, you only pay the monthly cost of SODA once.

SODA on 2 environments?

Example: your accounting office works with 1 Yuki environment and 1 Expert/M environment.

You activate the SODA service on both environments.


You then use 2x the SODA Service = you pay 2x the monthly cost* whatever the number of companies you manage on your environments.


You already have active SODA mandates and you order additional SODA mandates?

CodaBox charges the monthly fee for the SODA service + the one-time fee for each new activated mandate.

The following month, you only pay the monthly fee for the service.
