Manually backfill your historical transactions

Introduction

Backfilling historical transactions involves transferring a record of past financial activities, such as sales, credit memos, and refunds, into Anrok. This process is crucial for maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of your economic exposures in different jurisdictions. It also ensures jurisdictions where you are already remitting accurately include all transactions that have occurred in their returns.

If you don’t have a compatible billing system, or if you have historical transactions recorded outside of your billing system, you can complete your company's historical backfillHistorical Backfill
