Journal Entries

Posted accounting entries behind reports and transaction reclass.

Journal entries are documented here only as the accounting spine behind the LedgerHQ workflow. They matter because financial reports are built from posted entries, and transaction reclass may update a linked non-bank journal line. Partner apps should prefer resource posting endpoints for purchases, deposits, transfers, and bill payments; use journal entries for true journal adjustments.

Reclass Behavior

POST /api/v1/bank-transactions/:id/reclassify updates the bank transaction's classification fields first. If the transaction has a linked journal entry, LedgerHQ can also update the selected non-bank journal line.

Rules:

  • Period-locked entries return a validation error.
  • Void entries cannot be reclassified.
  • Multi-line entries require journalLineId.
  • Debit and credit amounts are preserved; only the target account changes.
