# Merge accounting codes

`POST /accounting_codes/{accounting_code}/merge`

Merge manual generated accounting codes into other codes. A manual code is any code that has no `xero_id` or `quickbooks_id`, which indicates it was imported from an external accounting platform. The manual codes will be deleted after reassignment, with all references to them updated to the target accounting code.

## Path parameters

- `accounting_code` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `accounting_code_ids` string[] — An array of one or more accounting code IDs to be removed from the system, with all references to them updated to the accounting code in the resource path. All accounting codes in this array must be of the same `type` as the accounting code in the resource path, and must belong to the same business entity.
