If you want to mark a paid claim as Booked, you first need to set the status to Transferred to bookkeeping.
- Go to the menu **Reports** \> **Generate bookkeeping file** and select one or more claims you want to change status on.
- Then you click the button **Download bookkeeping file**.
- Select which format you want to download the file to.
- The selectable options are report, CSV file and Visma Nova (Finnish ERP system).
- Then you decide the transfer date and mark the checkbox **Transferred to bookkeeping**.
- Please note that this checkbox is only available when the claims have status Paid.
After you have changed the status, the claims will be visible in the menu **Bookkeeping files**.
In this page you will see all created bookkeeping files within the selected from and until dates.
- Click **Mark all as Booked** in the column header or the link **Mark as Booked** for each claim individually.
- Confirm the status change and the selected claims are marked as Booked and no further action can be taken once this status is set.
- This status is not shown for the regular user in the Home page, they will still see the claims as Paid.
