# Balance Intercompany Journal Entry

`POST /coa/api/intercompany-journal-entry/balance`

Balances an intercompany journal entry by entity and currency.

        This endpoint performs the same balancing logic as the frontend, applying:
        1. Auto-fetching of exchange rates if not provided (requires date field)
        2. Exchange rate roll-forward from native to book to consolidation currencies
        3. Exchange rate plugging to ensure consolidation amounts match across currencies within an entity
        4. Automatic creation of balancing transactions when debits != credits at any currency level

        The endpoint accepts a partial intercompany journal entry with transactions and optionally exchange rates,
        and returns the balanced version with:
        - Auto-fetched exchange rates (if exchange_rates is empty and date is provided)
        - Updated transactions with calculated book and consolidation amounts
        - New balancing transactions added where needed
        - Plugged exchange rates to maintain consolidation consistency

        This is useful for:
        - Validating journal entries before submission
        - Understanding what balancing entries will be created
        - Testing multi-currency and multi-entity scenarios
        - Auto-fetching exchange rates for the journal date

## Request body

  - `date` string, date — Journal entry date (ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD). Used for auto-fetching exchange rates if exchange_rates is empty.
  - `transactions` object[], required — List of transaction objects
  - `exchange_rates` object[] — List of exchange rate objects (optional - will be auto-fetched if empty and date is provided)
