Sovos eArchive GUI

To access stored invoices, customers can use the Sovos eArchive GUI.

Accessing the Sovos eArchive GUI

When enabling a company, as described in the configuration page, a relative section URL is returned as output from the API request. This relative section URL is defined as:/archive/[Client Area]/[Company].

The syntax of the complete URL to the Sovos eArchive GUI is as follows: [Archive GUI base URL]/archive/[Client Area]/[Company].
Note:

The base URL will be communicated out of band.

Let's suppose, for example, that:
  • The Archive GUI base URL is "https://twa-test.trustweaver.com/ta_custweb"

  • The Client Area is "Hub1"

  • The Company is "Company1"

Using that example, the relative URL returned from the EnableCompany method is /archive/Hub1/Company1. And the complete URL to the Sovos eArchive GUI becomes https://twa-test.trustweaver.com/ta_custweb/archive/Hub1/Section1/.

The SuperAdmin credentials returned from the API call to enable the company can be used to log on to the Sovos eArchive GUI via the complete URL.
Note:

After the first login, the SuperAdmin is forced to change their password.

Single Sign On

Sovos eArchive supports Single Sign On (SSO). However, this is not a standard functionality and thus custom configuration is needed. Reach out to our team to learn about the possibilities.

Roles

The following roles can be distinguished within Sovos eArchive:
  • SuperAdmin

  • Administrator

  • Event Auditor

  • User

Each user can have one or multiple roles.
Note:

The SuperAdmin role is unique and cannot be given to a user account.

SuperAdmin
There is only one SuperAdmin account, so this role cannot be given to a user account. When enabling a Company, the SuperAdmin credentials will be returned as output of the request. The SuperAdmin account has the following functionalities:
  • Password management: Changing the SuperAdmin password.

  • User management: Creating user accounts or managing existing ones.

Administrator
Only the SuperAdmin can assign the administrator role to a user account. The administrator has the following functionalities:
  • Manage users: Creating new users accounts or managing existing user accounts. Note: The administrator can only assign the Event Auditor and User role to other accounts.

Event Auditor
An event auditor role can be assigned to a user account by an administrator. The event auditor has access to:
  • Event Log: These logs show all the events generated by other users including password changes, logins, creation of new users, and the deletion of users.

User
A user role can be assigned to a user account by an administrator. The user role can perform the following actions:
  • Search invoices: It's the only role that can access the invoice search function.

Note:

When assigning the user role, an invoice search start date and end date can be set, so that they can only see invoices in the specified period. If no start and end date are set, the user will have access to the whole archive.

Invoice Search Function

The user role can use the invoice search function to find invoices. Different metadata such as the invoice number and the VAT number can be used in the Find invoices field to search for a specific invoice.
Note:

Metadata is only searchable if this has been specified within the SBDH that has been sent to Sovos or at a later stage via updating the invoice.

The advanced search window provides a much more detailed interface to refine the search parameters.
