## Compress Data with Date Compression

You can compress data in [!INCLUDE [prod_short](includes/prod_short.md)] to save space in the database, which in [!INCLUDE [prod_short](includes/prod_short.md)] online can even save you money. The compression is based on dates and works by combining several old entries into one new entry. You can compress entries from closed fiscal years only, and only entries where the **Open** field is set to **No**. Also, by default, you can only compress data that is at least five years old. If you want to compress data that is less than five years old, contact your Microsoft partner.

For example, vendor ledger entries from previous fiscal years can be compressed so that there is only one credit and one debit entry per account per month. The amount in the new entry is the sum of all the compressed entries. The date assigned is the starting date for the period that is compressed, such as the first day of the month (if the entries are compressed by month). After the compression, you can still see the net change for each account in the previous fiscal year.

The number of entries that result from a date compression depends on how many filters you set, which fields are combined, and which period length you choose. There will always be at least one entry.
