# Create journal entry report

`POST /reports/journal-entry`

When a Journal Entry Report is created, the report content will be created asynchronously. It may then be retrieved asynchronously from the GET endpoint using an "accept: text/csv", or "accept: application/vnd.ms-excel", header.

## Request body

- object
  - `business_entity_id` string, required
  - `payroll_id` string, required
  - `format` 'csv' | 'xlsx' — Sets the output format for `/download`: `csv` or `xlsx`. Required to use `/download`. When omitted, both are rendered.
  - `sheet` 'detail' | 'summary' — Selects which sheet the CSV output covers: `summary` or `detail`. When omitted, a CSV of each is rendered. The Excel workbook always contains both sheets, so this does not narrow it.
