# Update accounting entries in bulk

`PATCH /accountingentries/{companyId}`

Updates one or more fields of several accounting entries, identified by `customId`, following the same rules as the single-entry update endpoint — including the `description` reset-when-omitted behavior. Entries whose `customId` does not match any existing entry are silently skipped; the call still returns `200` for the whole batch.

## Path parameters

- `companyId` string, required

## Request body

- BulkPatchAccountingEntriesRequestSchema
  - `data` AuxBulkPatchAccountingEntriesRequestSchema[], required — Accounting entries to update, identified by `customId`.
    - `accountingCode` string, nullable — Ledger account code the entry is posted to.
    - `counterpartAccountingCode` string, nullable — Ledger account code of the counterpart side of the entry, when applicable.
    - `accountingName` string, nullable — Display name of the ledger account (`accountingCode`).
    - `assetAmount` number, nullable — Outflow side of the entry, in `currency` (money leaving the account, e.g. a supplier payment). An entry always has both sides: if you set only `assetAmount` or only `liabilityAmount`, the other one defaults to 0. The sign is inverted on storage (0 always stays 0): a positive value you send is stored and returned as negative, following the convention that negative amounts are outflows.
    - `accountingAssetAmount` number, nullable — Outflow side expressed in the company accounting currency (`accountingCurrency`). Subject to the same sign convention as `assetAmount`.
    - `balance` number, nullable — Running balance of the ledger account (`accountingCode`) after this entry, typically calculated by Embat rather than provided by you.
    - `liabilityAmount` number, nullable — Inflow side of the entry, in `currency` (money entering the account, e.g. a customer collection), stored with the sign you send. An entry always has both sides: if you set only `assetAmount` or only `liabilityAmount`, the other one defaults to 0.
    - `accountingLiabilityAmount` number, nullable — Inflow side expressed in the company accounting currency (`accountingCurrency`).

    - `contactCustomId` string, nullable — Custom ID of the contact (client/supplier), used when `accountingCode` is a contacts ledger account.
    - `exchangeRate` number, nullable — Exchange rate applied between `currency` and `accountingCurrency`.
    - `additionalInfo` object, nullable — Free-form key/value metadata to attach to the entry. Sending an empty object (`{}`) has no effect and does not clear previously stored metadata.
    - `description` string, nullable — Free-text description of the entry. If omitted — on both creation and update — Embat sets (or resets) it to an auto-generated value: `"Asiento "` followed by `accountingEntryCode` if set, otherwise by `customId`. On `PATCH`, this means leaving `description` out overwrites any previously set custom description; resend the current value to keep it unchanged.
    - `documentId` string, nullable — Identifier of the source document (e.g. invoice) this entry relates to.
    - `transactionsIds` string[], nullable — Embat IDs of the bank transactions related to this entry.
    - `paymentId` string, nullable — Embat ID of the payment related to this entry.
    - `date` string, date-time, nullable — Accounting date of the entry. Send a plain date at midnight (e.g. `2024-01-15T00:00:00Z`) — sending a different time of day can shift the stored calendar date and is not fully normalized to midnight.
    - `attributes` AttributeValueRequestSchema[], nullable — Custom attribute values to attach to the entry. Duplicate values and attributes flagged as internal-only are omitted when the entry is returned.
      - `customId` string, required — Custom ID of the attribute (see the Attributes endpoints) being set.
      - `value` string, required — Display text of the value being set on this entity.
      - `valueCustomId` string, nullable — Custom ID of one of the attribute's predefined `values`, when the attribute is of type `list`. Leave unset for free-form `string`/`number` attributes.
      - `parentCustomId` string, nullable — Not used when attaching an attribute value to an entity.
    - `customId` string, required — Embat custom/auto-generated unique accounting entry ID. You can use it as your own custom ERP accounting entry ID.
