Embat AccountingEntries API is one of 22 APIs that [Embat](https://apis.io/providers/embat/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include AccountingEntries. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

`AccountingEntry` represents a single line of a company's general accounting journal — an outflow (`assetAmount`) or inflow (`liabilityAmount`) movement posted to a ledger account (`accountingCode`). `customId` is the unique identifier of an entry: set your own value to use as your ERP accounting entry ID, or let Embat auto-generate one. Entries that belong to the same journal document (e.g. all the lines of one invoice posting) can share the same `accountingEntryCode`. Accounting entries are the accounting side of Embat's reconciliation process with `Transactions` (bank movements): Embat matches entries against transactions and exposes the outcome here through `reconciled` and `reconciliationsIds`. An entry can also reference a `Contact` (client/supplier, via `contactCustomId`, when `accountingCode` is a contacts account), a `Payment` it relates to (`paymentId`), or a source document (`documentId`). **Typical flow:** accounting entries synchronize your general ledger in both directions between your ERP and Embat. 1. **Notify Embat of entries posted in your ERP.** When a journal line is recorded in your ERP, create it in Embat with `POST /accountingentries/{companyId}` (or the bulk variant): ```json POST /accountingentries/{companyId} { "customId": "erp-entry-2024-001", "accountingEntryCode": "invoice-2024-001", "accountingCode": "4300001", "accountingName": "Trade debtors", "date": "2024-01-15T00:00:00Z", "assetAmount": 1250.50, "liabilityAmount": 0, "currency": "EUR" } ``` 2. **Read entries and their reconciliation status.** Use `GET /accountingentries/{companyId}` with the `reconciled` filter and `startUpdatedAt`/`endUpdatedAt` for incremental reads since your last poll, or `GET /accountingentries/{companyId}/{customId}` to retrieve a single entry. 3. **Correct or remove entries as your ledger changes.** Use `PATCH /accountingentries/{companyId}/{customId}` (or the bulk variant) to update fields — resend the current `description` if you want to keep it, since omitting it resets it to an auto-generated value. You can also resend the full entry with `POST`: creation is an upsert, so an existing `customId` is updated instead of duplicated. Use `DELETE` to remove entries individually or in bulk, by `customId` or by `accountingEntryCode`/`accountingEntryCodeId`.
