I/ The impact of archiving a project

Archiving a project does not delete it. All data such as invoices, recorded times, schedules, fees, etc. are kept on your account.

The amounts invoiced remain accounted for in the agency's turnover.

The invoiced amounts remain counted BUT the billing forecast is no longer taken into account.

If you click on an archived project, the "archived" icon appears.

  • when you want to create an invoice, the project does not appear
