Hi,
Payhawk offers you the option to close and archive specific time periods.
This is especially important for our Spanish and German customers. The expense archive functionality follows the Spanish state tax regulations as well as the GoBD directive and enables you to do paperless accounting.
Please remember:
You can close and archive all expenses for a given month. You cannot archive a single expense.
You can close and archive multiple months at the same time.
Payhawk archives all expenses with a Service period date in the selected period. If you don't use the Bookkeeping module, Payhawk will use the document date as a base.
After closing and archiving a period, you can access, see, and export every archived expense. You cannot change or delete it in any way.
