AccountingEntries

Update accounting entry

Updates one or more fields of an accounting entry identified by customId. Only the fields you send are changed — except description: if it is omitted, Embat resets it to an auto-generated value derived from the entry's identifier, overwriting any previously set custom description; resend the current value to keep it unchanged. Updating a customId that does not match any existing entry is a no-op: the call still returns 200 without creating or changing anything, and no 404 is raised.

Path parameters

customIdstring required

companyIdstring required

Request body

accountingCodestring nullable

Ledger account code the entry is posted to.

counterpartAccountingCodestring nullable

Ledger account code of the counterpart side of the entry, when applicable.

accountingNamestring nullable

Display name of the ledger account (accountingCode).

assetAmountnumber 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.

accountingAssetAmountnumber nullable

Outflow side expressed in the company accounting currency (accountingCurrency). Subject to the same sign convention as assetAmount.

balancenumber nullable

Running balance of the ledger account (accountingCode) after this entry, typically calculated by Embat rather than provided by you.

liabilityAmountnumber 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.

accountingLiabilityAmountnumber nullable

Inflow side expressed in the company accounting currency (accountingCurrency).

contactCustomIdstring nullable

Custom ID of the contact (client/supplier), used when accountingCode is a contacts ledger account.

exchangeRatenumber nullable

Exchange rate applied between currency and accountingCurrency.

additionalInfoobject 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.

descriptionstring 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.

documentIdstring nullable

Identifier of the source document (e.g. invoice) this entry relates to.

transactionsIdsstring[] nullable

Embat IDs of the bank transactions related to this entry.

paymentIdstring nullable

Embat ID of the payment related to this entry.

datestring 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.
