Switching to Zenvoices? In many cases, you can include your historical documents in the digital archive of your Zenvoices environment/administration.

Migrating an archive from another system

Would you like to migrate archive documents from another software package to Zenvoices? This is possible, provided that the correct data is available.

In this article, you will read what needs to be supplied, which data can be transferred and what to consider during migration.

Requirements for submission

  1. Journal and transaction number must be identifiable

    Ensure that the journal and transaction number can be derived from the document itself or are included in the file name.

  2. Migrating a Basecone archive

    If you are submitting a Basecone archive, this is generally not an issue. Basecone automatically adds a page containing the required information.

  3. Separation per administration

    Documents must be submitted separately per administration.

What will be visible after import?

The data visible in the archive after import depends on the information included in the file name. Typically, the following fields are available:

  • Journal code

  • Transaction number

  • Invoice number


Archive import within the same accounting system, new Zenvoices environment

Import and preparation costs apply. The archive content is transferred, with the exception of:

  • Authorisation history

  • Automation history

  • Remarks


Migration to another administration or accounting system

Transaction lines are not transferred. However, the following fields are included:

  • Transaction number

  • Fiscal year

  • Date

  • Account code

  • Account name

  • Total amounts

  • Currency

  • Description

  • Payment reference

  • Invoice number


Pricing for archive import

Archive import costs depend on the number of documents and whether you choose to include full text search. Please contact your account manager for pricing details.


Tip! Use full text search import

With full text search, you can search the full content of documents. This means you can search not only by metadata such as invoice numbers or dates, but also by words and phrases within the document text itself. This significantly improves searchability, especially for large document volumes.

Please note: enabling full text search affects the import costs.
