API Reference

Create an accounting entry batch

post
https://api.brinta.com/accounting-entry-batches/

Submits up to 10,000 accounting entries (100,000 lines) for asynchronous ingestion.

Every element of entries is the exact body you would send toPOST /accounting-entries/.

Unlike a transaction batch there is no discriminator: book_type and entry_category live on each entry, because amonth-end close legitimately mixes NORMAL and CLOSING entries and forcing that into separate requests would be arbitrary.

entry_external_id is both the correlation key for results and the deduplication key for retries.

The response is always 202.

Read progress and results throughGET /batches/{batch_id}, exactly as with a transaction batch.

Body Params
options
object

The same options as a transaction batch, minus use_tax_engine: there is no
tax engine involved in an accounting entry.

entries
array of objects
required
length between 1 and 10000

Each element is the exact body of POST /accounting-entries/. A batch is
additionally capped at 100,000 lines in total, which is usually the limit
that binds first: a double-entry journal has 2 lines, but a payroll entry
can have 200.

A single accounting entry. Mirrors the body of POST /accounting-entries/.

string

Brinta's ID for a linked invoice. Note that this is a Brinta identifier,

different body returns 409. Scoped per company.
