# What are the requirements to archive invoices?

## Symptom

What are the requirements to archive invoices?

## Resolution

You need to provide a URL to which SAP Business Network can post (HTTP Post) the invoice archive ZIP file.

The following are some additional specifications related to invoice archiving:

- Ariba does not send any parameter name to post the archive. Ariba uses **application/zip** as the **content type** for the HTTP Post. This eliminates the Querystring format.
- Ariba sends the binary data of the ZIP file during the HTTP Post.
- We don't have any sample of the HTTP Post, but the post is an HTTP Post with **content-type** of **application/zip**, which is sufficient information to consume the data within your application.
