Embat AccountingAccounts API

`AccountingAccount` represents an account in the company's chart of accounts. `accountingCode` is the unique identifier of an account and is used as its ID; it also determines the account's default classification (`type`) when none is sent. Accounting accounts are the backbone Embat uses to classify money movements: `Payments` and accounting entries reference an account by `accountingCode` to record where a transaction is posted, and `Transactions` are reconciled against the account's `balance`. **Typical flow:** notify Embat of the accounts that exist in your ERP so that payments and reconciliations can reference them. 1. **Create or update accounts.** Send each account from your chart of accounts with `POST /accountingaccounts/{companyId}` (or the bulk variant `POST /accountingaccounts/{companyId}/bulk`). Sending an `accountingCode` that already exists updates that account instead of creating a duplicate. 2. **Keep accounts in sync.** As accounts change in your ERP (renamed, deactivated, reclassified), reflect those changes with `PATCH /accountingaccounts/{companyId}/{accountingCode}` (or the bulk variant `PATCH /accountingaccounts/{companyId}`), or simply resend the account with `POST` — creation is an upsert, so an existing `accountingCode` is updated instead of duplicated. Note that `type` can only be changed via `PATCH`. 3. **Read accounts.** Use `GET /accountingaccounts/{companyId}` to list all accounts, or `GET /accountingaccounts/{companyId}/{accountingCode}` to retrieve a single one, including its current `balance`. 4. **Delete accounts.** `DELETE /accountingaccounts/{companyId}/{accountingCode}` (or the bulk variant) deactivates an account rather than permanently removing it; deactivated accounts still appear in list/retrieve responses with `active: false`.
