Archive Registration
Archive a registration to stop tax calculations and hide from views
POST
Archive a registration to completely exclude it from tax calculations and hide it from default list views. Archived registrations are preserved for historical records but no longer participate in tax processing.
Archived registrations will have a non-null
Path Parameters
The unique identifier (UUID) of the registration to archive.
What Happens When You Archive
- Tax calculations stop — The registration is no longer considered when calculating taxes for transactions
- Hidden from views — Excluded from list results unless you set
include_archived: true - Data preserved — All historical data remains intact for reference and auditing
Cascade Behavior
| Registration Type | Effect |
|---|---|
| State registration | Archives the state and all local registrations (cities, counties, districts) under it |
| Local registration | Archives only the local registration (no cascade) |
When to Archive
Use archive when you want to:- Completely disable a registration — Stop all tax calculations without deleting historical data
- Remove duplicates — Archive an erroneously created duplicate
- Clean up test data — Hide test registrations while preserving them for reference
Archive vs. Close vs. Delete
| Action | Use Case | Tax Calculations | Reversible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archive | Completely disable | Stopped entirely | Yes (contact support) |
| Close | Stop selling on a specific date | Active within date range (start → end date) | No |
| Delete | Remove entirely | N/A - data removed | No |
If you need to stop collecting tax starting from a specific date but preserve calculations for the historical period, use Close instead. Close keeps the registration active for transactions within the effective date range.
