Ledger
Get Journal Entry
One posted transaction — a single balanced double-entry journal entry — flattened with both account ids, codes and names so each leg deep-links to its account.

}Fetches one posted transaction (a single balanced double-entry journal entry)
by its
ledger_transactions id, flattened with both account ids, codes and
names so each leg deep-links to its account page. This is the addressable
journal-entry object that a reconciliation discrepancy’s
transaction_id points to, and that every row of an
invoice’s or
credit note’s journal entries
links back to.

Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
transaction_id | string (uuid) | The transaction’s id |
timestamp | string (date-time) | When it was posted |
code | integer | Posting code — see posting codes |
debit_account_id / debit_account_code / debit_account_name | uuid / integer / string | The debit side; the id deep-links to the account |
credit_account_id / credit_account_code / credit_account_name | uuid / integer / string | The credit side |
amount | integer (int64) | Minor units |
reference_id | string (uuid) | The business object that caused the posting (invoice, credit note, wallet transaction, …) |
description | string | Human-readable posting description |
accounting_version | integer | Posting-semantics version the leg was written under |
entity_id | string (uuid), nullable | The legal entity whose ledger holds the entry; null for the primary ledger |
entity_name | string | The entity’s name (empty for the primary ledger) |
Read-only. A missing or cross-tenant
id returns 404. To list postings by
account rather than fetch one by id, use
