Deleting data within Invoice Processing

Within the Spend Cloud, we process a lot of data. In principle, we do not delete data unless requested. Users can delete emails themselves using the housekeeping functionality within the Spend Cloud. This is currently the only place where customers can clean up data themselves.

We have received requests from customers multiple times asking if we can also clean up other data, for example, data that has been stored in the Spend Cloud for longer than 7 years. This is the retention period commonly used for invoices. We have conducted research on this and as a result, it is now possible to request a cleanup for invoice processing.

Fill in this form to clean up your data within Invoice Processing 

Once you have filled out the form above, a support call will be created. This support call will not receive the highest priority, but will be addressed nonetheless. You will receive a notification once the data cleanup has been completed. Deleting this data has benefits in terms of sustainability. We will need less storage and therefore less server capacity at Google. 

In the future we will also expand this functionality for the other modules.
