Returns every ledger posting that references this invoice: its Code-1 issuance, Code-6 tax reclass, Code-3 payment, and any credit, refund, or write-off legs. Each entry is one balanced transfer — a debit account and a credit account (id, code, and name), an amount in minor units, its posting code, and a timestamp. This is the finance-accounting side of the invoice page: the answer to “which postings produced this invoice’s numbers?” Account ids deep-link each leg to its ledger account; transaction_id links to the journal entry itself. See Explain any number for how this fits with the other drill-down endpoints, and the ledger guide for what each posting code means.

Entry Fields

Field	Type	Description
`transaction_id`	string (uuid)	The posted transaction — fetch it with Get Journal Entry
`timestamp`	string (date-time)	When the leg was posted
`code`	integer	Posting code (`1` issuance, `6` tax reclass, `3` payment, …) — see posting codes
`debit_account_id` / `debit_account_code` / `debit_account_name`	uuid / integer / string	The debit side of the transfer; the id deep-links to the ledger account
`credit_account_id` / `credit_account_code` / `credit_account_name`	uuid / integer / string	The credit side of the transfer
`amount`	integer (int64)	Minor units
`reference_id`	string (uuid)	The business object that caused the posting
`description`	string	Human-readable posting description
`accounting_version`	integer	Posting-semantics version the leg was written under

Read-only. An existing invoice with no postings yet returns an empty entries list — a draft, or an invoice whose best-effort posting is still pending reconciliation. A missing or cross-tenant id returns 404.
