Draft Journal Entries (v2)

Download schema

Create draft journal entries in batch (v2)

POST
https://api.ledgerbee.com/api
/v2/draft-journal-batches
x-api-key (header)
or
OAuth 2.0

Atomically creates 1–100 draft journal entries in a single transaction. Each entry follows the same restrictions as POST /api/v2/draft-journal-entries: auto-append of the AR/AP leg for locked types, tenant-scoped customerId / vendorId / journalCategoryId / line accountId validation.

If any entry fails validation or persistence the entire batch is rolled back — no draft rows are created. journalCategoryId / customerId / vendorId / accountId from another tenant rejects the whole batch with the matching error code.

Attachments: each entry may include up to 10 base64-encoded attachments[]. A failure on any entry rolls back the whole batch and deletes every already-uploaded blob — no orphan documents survive.

Create a draft journal entry (v2)

POST
https://api.ledgerbee.com/api
/v2/draft-journal-entries
x-api-key (header)
or
OAuth 2.0

Creates a draft journal entry with the V2 restriction matrix enforced at create-time (unlike v1, which only validates on book). For CUSTOMER_INVOICE / CUSTOMER_PAYMENT / SUPPLIER_INVOICE / SUPPLIER_PAYMENT submit only the counter-side lines — the server auto-appends the AR/AP leg on the partner group default account.

Tenant scoping: every customerId / vendorId / journalCategoryId / line accountId is validated against the API key's app company. Cross-tenant or unknown ids reject with 400 (JOURNAL_CATEGORY_NOT_FOUND, ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND, CUSTOMER_HAS_NO_GROUP, VENDOR_HAS_NO_GROUP, INVOICE_AR_LEG_NOT_ON_GROUP_DEFAULT, PAYMENT_AR_LEG_NOT_ON_GROUP_DEFAULT, INVOICE_AP_LEG_NOT_ON_GROUP_DEFAULT, PAYMENT_AP_LEG_NOT_ON_GROUP_DEFAULT).

Attachments: include up to 10 base64-encoded files in the optional attachments[] field — same shape and limits as POST /api/v2/journal-entries. Each becomes a Document linked to the draft; when the draft is booked, the documents migrate to the posted JE and surface via GET /api/v1/journal-entries/:id/attachments. Rejection paths: an invalid MIME type rejects at DTO validation with 400 SHARED_VALIDATION_FAILED; malformed base64 reaches the service and rejects with 400 JOURNAL_ENTRY_INVALID_ATTACHMENT_TYPE.

Create a draft journal entry (v2) › Request Body

CreateDraftJournalEntryV2Request
entryType
​string · enum · required

Journal type. For CUSTOMER_INVOICE / CUSTOMER_PAYMENT / SUPPLIER_INVOICE / SUPPLIER_PAYMENT the AR/AP leg is appended automatically; do not include it in lines.

Enum values:
journal
invoice
payment
supplier_invoice
supplier_payment
customer_invoice
customer_payment
date
​string · required

Posting date (YYYY-MM-DD).

originalAmount
​number · required

Face value of the document — what the counterparty is invoiced or pays. NOT the sum of lines. On CUSTOMER_INVOICE / CUSTOMER_PAYMENT / SUPPLIER_INVOICE / SUPPLIER_PAYMENT this value IS the appended AR/AP leg (its absolute value), so an account that appears on both sides of the entry — a clearing or pass-through account — must not be counted into it. Sign carries direction: positive = invoice / payment, negative = credit-note / refund.

​SplitEntryLine[] · minItems: 1 · maxItems: 1000 · required

Counter-side lines (revenue / expense / bank / outlay). For locked types do NOT include the AR/AP leg. The cap is per ENTRY, not per request or per journal category — nothing accumulates across entries, so a company with many unposted drafts is never refused for that reason.

customerId
​string

Customer reference. Required for CUSTOMER_* types.

supplierId
​string

Supplier reference. Required for SUPPLIER_* types.

description
​string · maxLength: 2000

Optional human-readable description.

reference
​string

Invoice number / external reference.

externalSystemId
​string · maxLength: 255

Your own system's id for this draft. Carried onto the booked journal entry. Not unique — several drafts/entries may share one id. Filter the list endpoint by externalSystemId.

Example: erp-7f3a2c91
currency
​string | null · minLength: 3 · maxLength: 3 · pattern: ^[A-Za-z]{3}$

ISO 4217 alpha-3 currency code.

Example: DKK
exchangeRate
​number

Exchange rate from currency to the company base currency, e.g. 7.4612 for EUR to DKK. Must be greater than zero; a non-positive rate is rejected whatever the entry currency, so the same body is accepted or refused identically for every tenant. Omit the field to have the rate resolved from the rate feed at the posting date — supplying one lets an integrator that already converted the amount itself post both legs of a settlement against the same rate. Not applied when the entry is already denominated in the company base currency, where the conversion is the identity.

Example: 7.4612
tagIds
​string[]

Tag IDs applied at the entry level.

journalCategoryId
​string

Journal category ID (UUID). Must belong to the API key's app company; cross-tenant or unknown IDs are rejected with 400 JOURNAL_CATEGORY_NOT_FOUND. When omitted the entry uses the company's default category.

​AttachmentRequest[] · maxItems: 10

Inline file attachments (base64-encoded). Same shape and limits as v1: maximum 10 attachments per entry, a 10MB ceiling on each file measured AFTER base64 decoding (over it is rejected with DOCUMENT_UPLOAD_FILE_TOO_LARGE), and a 15MB ceiling on the total request body (JSON + base64 payload). Either can be the binding one: base64 inflates a payload by about a third, so two 6MB files each clear the per-file bound and exceed the request one. Each attachment becomes a Document linked to the created journal entry — equivalent to what GET /api/v1/journal-entries/:id/attachments returns. An invalid MIME type rejects at DTO validation with 400 SHARED_VALIDATION_FAILED; malformed base64 reaches the service and rejects with 400 JOURNAL_ENTRY_INVALID_ATTACHMENT_TYPE. Either rejects the whole entry, and in a batch the whole batch rolls back.

vendorId
​string · deprecated

Deprecated — use supplierId. Legacy alias; sending both with different values returns 400.

​string · required

Draft journal entry ID

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
date
​string · required

Date in YYYY-MM-DD format

Example: 2026-01-15
amount
​number · required

How large this draft is, in your company base currency — the one your company reports in. A draft entered as EUR 1,000 by a company reporting in DKK is 7450 here.

Do not display this number together with currency. That field names the currency the draft was entered in (EUR in the example), while this number is in DKK, so the pair reads as EUR 7,450 — about seven times what the draft is actually for. originalAmount is the figure that belongs beside currency.

Reads 0 on a draft that holds no figure in this currency. The minAmount and maxAmount filters on the list endpoint run on this field, so a draft reading 0 here is excluded whenever either filter is applied.

The deprecated v1 create takes a request field of the same name carrying the figure the draft is entered in, so a EUR draft sent as amount: 1000 is returned with amount: 7450 — the request field and this one are in different currencies under one name.

Example: 7450
originalAmount
​number · required

How large this draft is, in the currency it was entered in — the currency currency names, and the one lines[].amount uses. A draft entered as EUR 1,000 is 1000 here, whatever your company reports in.

This is the figure to display beside currency. amount is the same draft in your company base currency: on that EUR draft this field reads 1000 and amount reads 7450. Reads 0 on a draft that carries no amount yet.

Example: 1000
currency
​string · required

The currency this draft was entered in — EUR for a supplier invoice received in EUR. This is not the currency amount is in; originalAmount is the figure in this currency.

Example: EUR
journalType
​string · required

Journal type

Example: JOURNAL_ENTRY
​DraftJournalEntryLine[] · required

Every line of the draft — the field to read. Always present, an empty array included, so a client never has to distinguish absent from empty. The name matches the lines the v2 draft endpoints take, so a v2 draft reads back through the field it was written with. The deprecated v1 create still takes splitEntries, so a v1 client sends these lines back under that name.

Document IDs attached to the draft

exchangeRate
​number | null

What one unit of currency is worth in your company base currency. 7.45 on a EUR draft of a company reporting in DKK means 1 EUR buys 7.45 DKK.

This is the rate the draft is converted at, not a factor between the two amounts on this response. amount is built from the draft lines rather than from originalAmount, so multiplying originalAmount by this rate does not reliably reproduce it — on a draft whose sides disagree the two figures differ with no rate involved at all. A draft already entered in your own currency carries 1. Null only while a foreign-currency draft has no rate yet — booking gives it one.

Example: 7.45
exchangeRateDate
​string | null

Date the exchangeRate was captured for. Null whenever exchangeRate is.

Example: 2026-01-15
vendorId
​string · deprecated

Deprecated — use supplierId. Legacy alias, emitted with the same value.

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440003
​DraftSplitEntryLineResponse[] · deprecated

Deprecated — use lines. Present only on drafts that need it: a plain one-debit-one-credit draft with no per-line memo or dimensions reports its accounts through accountId / contraAccountId and omits this field entirely.

Draft journal entry ID

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
date
​string · required

Date in YYYY-MM-DD format

Example: 2026-01-15
amount
​number · required

How large this draft is, in your company base currency — the one your company reports in. A draft entered as EUR 1,000 by a company reporting in DKK is 7450 here.

Do not display this number together with currency. That field names the currency the draft was entered in (EUR in the example), while this number is in DKK, so the pair reads as EUR 7,450 — about seven times what the draft is actually for. originalAmount is the figure that belongs beside currency.

Reads 0 on a draft that holds no figure in this currency. The minAmount and maxAmount filters on the list endpoint run on this field, so a draft reading 0 here is excluded whenever either filter is applied.

The deprecated v1 create takes a request field of the same name carrying the figure the draft is entered in, so a EUR draft sent as amount: 1000 is returned with amount: 7450 — the request field and this one are in different currencies under one name.

Example: 7450
originalAmount
​number · required

How large this draft is, in the currency it was entered in — the currency currency names, and the one lines[].amount uses. A draft entered as EUR 1,000 is 1000 here, whatever your company reports in.

This is the figure to display beside currency. amount is the same draft in your company base currency: on that EUR draft this field reads 1000 and amount reads 7450. Reads 0 on a draft that carries no amount yet.

Example: 1000
currency
​string · required

The currency this draft was entered in — EUR for a supplier invoice received in EUR. This is not the currency amount is in; originalAmount is the figure in this currency.

Journal type

Example: JOURNAL_ENTRY
​DraftJournalEntryLine[] · required

Every line of the draft — the field to read. Always present, an empty array included, so a client never has to distinguish absent from empty. The name matches the lines the v2 draft endpoints take, so a v2 draft reads back through the field it was written with. The deprecated v1 create still takes splitEntries, so a v1 client sends these lines back under that name.

exchangeRate
​number | null

What one unit of currency is worth in your company base currency. 7.45 on a EUR draft of a company reporting in DKK means 1 EUR buys 7.45 DKK.

This is the rate the draft is converted at, not a factor between the two amounts on this response. amount is built from the draft lines rather than from originalAmount, so multiplying originalAmount by this rate does not reliably reproduce it — on a draft whose sides disagree the two figures differ with no rate involved at all. A draft already entered in your own currency carries 1. Null only while a foreign-currency draft has no rate yet — booking gives it one.

Example: 7.45

​DraftSplitEntryLineResponse[] · deprecated

Deprecated — use lines. Present only on drafts that need it: a plain one-debit-one-credit draft with no per-line memo or dimensions reports its accounts through accountId / contraAccountId and omits this field entirely.

Partial update: every create-time field is accepted except entryType (the journal type pins constraints decided at creation and is immutable) and attachments (own lifecycle). Omitted fields keep their current values; splitEntries, when provided, replaces the full line set.

externalSystemId is carried onto the booked journal entry when the draft is booked, and is not unique: several drafts or entries may share one id. Filter GET /draft-journal-entries?externalSystemId=... to list carriers.

UpdateDraftJournalEntryV2Request
date
​string

Posting date (YYYY-MM-DD).

originalAmount
​number

Face value of the document — what the counterparty is invoiced or pays. NOT the sum of lines. On CUSTOMER_INVOICE / CUSTOMER_PAYMENT / SUPPLIER_INVOICE / SUPPLIER_PAYMENT this value IS the appended AR/AP leg (its absolute value), so an account that appears on both sides of the entry — a clearing or pass-through account — must not be counted into it. Sign carries direction: positive = invoice / payment, negative = credit-note / refund.

customerId
​string | null · uuid

Customer reference. null clears it; omitting keeps it. Changing it reshapes the entry — requires lines and re-runs the per-entryType validation (CUSTOMER_* types cannot clear their counterparty).

supplierId
​string | null · uuid

Supplier reference. null clears it; omitting keeps it. Changing it reshapes the entry — requires lines and re-runs the per-entryType validation (SUPPLIER_* types cannot clear their counterparty).

description

externalSystemId

Example: erp-7f3a2c91
currency
​string | null · minLength: 3 · maxLength: 3 · pattern: ^[A-Za-z]{3}$

ISO 4217 alpha-3 currency code.

Example: DKK
exchangeRate
​number

Exchange rate from currency to the company base currency, e.g. 7.4612 for EUR to DKK. Must be greater than zero; a non-positive rate is rejected whatever the entry currency, so the same body is accepted or refused identically for every tenant. Omit the field to have the rate resolved from the rate feed at the posting date — supplying one lets an integrator that already converted the amount itself post both legs of a settlement against the same rate. Not applied when the entry is already denominated in the company base currency, where the conversion is the identity.

Example: 7.4612
​SplitEntryLine[] · minItems: 1 · maxItems: 1000

Counter-side lines (revenue / expense / bank / outlay). For locked types do NOT include the AR/AP leg. The cap is per ENTRY, not per request or per journal category — nothing accumulates across entries, so a company with many unposted drafts is never refused for that reason.

tagIds
​string[]

Tag IDs applied at the entry level.

journalCategoryId
​string

Journal category ID (UUID). Must belong to the API key's app company; cross-tenant or unknown IDs are rejected with 400 JOURNAL_CATEGORY_NOT_FOUND. When omitted the entry uses the company's default category.

vendorId
​string | null · uuid · deprecated

Deprecated — use supplierId. Legacy alias for the supplier reference (null clears it); sending both supplierId and vendorId with different values returns 400.

Book a draft journal entry (v2)

POST
https://api.ledgerbee.com/api
/v2/draft-journal-entries/{id}/book
x-api-key (header)
or
OAuth 2.0

Converts a draft journal entry into a posted journal entry. Validates the posting period and balance, then permanently deletes the draft. V2 drafts already carry the auto-appended AR/AP leg, so booking is a clean handoff to the posted-JE pipeline — no duplicate anchor leg is created. Returns 404 if the draft id does not belong to the API key's app company.

JournalEntryResponse
id
​string · required

Unique identifier of the created journal entry

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
entryNumber
​string · required

Entry number assigned to the journal entry

Example: JE-00001
date
​string · required

Date of the journal entry

Example: 2026-01-15
amount
​number · required

Amount of the line accountId names, in that line's account currency (currency). On a two-line entry this is the entry total. On a wider entry it is one line of several — sum lines[].functionalAmount on either side for the total.

Example: 1000
currency
​string · required

Currency amount is denominated in — the operating currency of that first line's account.

Example: DKK
journalType
​string · required

Journal type

Example: JOURNAL_ENTRY
type
​string · required

Transaction type

Example: debit
status
​string · required

Status of the journal entry

Example: POSTED
accountId
​string · required

One non-VAT line of the entry, paired with contraAccountId as a two-line summary. On a two-line entry the pair describes the whole entry. On a wider one it describes two of its lines and nothing about the rest — read lines for the full picture. Which two are picked is not part of this contract and differs by endpoint (a read takes them in posting order; the draft-booking response takes a debit and a credit), so do not infer a line's position from it.

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
createdAt
​string · required

Timestamp when the entry was created

Example: 2026-01-15T10:30:00.000Z
documentDate
​string

Document date (date on the invoice/voucher). Null for legacy entries.

Example: 2026-01-15
originalAmount
​number | null

What you posted, in the currency you posted it in — the document figure, before any conversion. Distinct from amount, which is denominated in the ACCOUNT currency (currency): a EUR entry against DKK accounts reports originalAmount: 200 / originalCurrency: "EUR" and amount: 1492.24 / currency: "DKK". Null on historical entries that stored no document amount.

Example: 200
originalCurrency
​string | null

The currency the entry was posted in: what originalAmount is denominated in, and what exchangeRate converts FROM. Present independently of originalAmount — an entry can name a currency and store no document amount, which is the historical shape, and the currency still says what its rate converts from. Null only on an entry that names no currency at all.

Example: EUR
exchangeRate
​number | null

Rate converting originalCurrency to the company base currency — 7.45 on a EUR entry of a DKK-based company means 1 EUR = 7.45 DKK, so originalAmount * exchangeRate is the base-currency total that lines[].functionalAmount sums to. Reported whether you supplied it on create or the platform resolved it, which is what lets you compute the difference against the rate your own settlement later used. 1 on an entry posted in the base currency, since that is the conversion that was applied and stored. Null only on historical entries that stored no rate at all.

Example: 7.45
exchangeRateDate
​string | null

Date the exchangeRate was captured for. Null whenever exchangeRate is.

Example: 2026-01-15
description
​string

Description of the journal entry

Example: Office supplies purchase
reference
​string

Reference number

Example: REF-2026-001
externalSystemId
​string

Your own system's id for this entry, when set. Not unique — several entries may share one id.

Example: erp-7f3a2c91
contraAccountId
​string

The other half of the accountId pair, when the entry has a second non-VAT line. Same caveat: it is one line, not a summary of every line other than accountId.

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001
​JournalEntryLine[]

Every line of the entry, including VAT lines the platform derived. This is the complete picture: accountId, contraAccountId, amount, currency and vatCodeId above all describe one line, or two, and nothing about the rest. Debits and credits balance across the array on functionalAmount. The order is stable for a given entry — normally the order the lines were posted in — but match lines by account rather than by position, and use vatSourceLineIndex to link a VAT line to its source.

customerId
​string

Customer ID if applicable

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440002
supplierId
​string

Supplier ID if applicable

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440003
vatCodeId
​string

VAT/Tax code on the line accountId names, if it has one. Lines can carry different codes — read lines[].vatCodeId for the per-line codes.

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
tagIds
​string[]

Tag IDs attached to the entry as a whole. Per-line dimensions are on lines[].tagIds.

documentRefs
​string[]

Document IDs attached to the entry

vendorId
​string · deprecated

Deprecated — use supplierId. Legacy alias, emitted with the same value.

Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440003
