Overview

A Journal is a running record of a company’s financial transactions used to record the debits and credits of each transaction.

The Journal Entries Data Model represents a running record of a company’s financial transactions used to record the debits and credits of each transaction. This unified model simplifies the management and retrieval of journal entry information across various accounting platforms.

• Unified journal entry properties: Essential journal entry details, such as account ID, amount, currency, description, and posted date, are standardized across different accounting platforms
• Journal entry lines: The journal_lines property includes an array of related journal lines, providing a comprehensive view of the journal entry’s constituent transactions
