Accounting Rules Configuration

Accounting rules allows you to create general rules for your accounts such as setting automatic accounting closures that recur on a regular basis and defining rules for how to handle any transactions that affect General Ledger (GL) balances in two different branches. For more information about these types of rules, see inter-branch transfer rules.

With Configuration as Code (CasC), you may batch configure your accounting rules configuration via the API using YAML. For general information on CasC, see Configuration as Code Overview.

API Operations

CasC for accounting rules supports two operations.

Requests

For general information on CasC requests such as authentication and required headers, see Configuration as Code Overview.

The following section shows sample requests using curl and basic authentication. For all examples, replace TENANT_NAME with your actual tenant name.

GET configuration

curl -X GET 'https://TENANT_NAME.mambu.com/api/configuration/accountingrules.yaml' \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.mambu.v2+yaml' \
-H 'Authorization: Basic {auth}'

{auth} is the base-64-encoded value of username:password. For more information, see Authentication in our API reference.

PUT configuration

curl -X PUT 'https://TENANT_NAME.mambu.com/api/configuration/accountingrules.yaml' \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.mambu.v2+yaml' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/yaml' \
-H 'Authorization: Basic {auth}' \
--data-binary @accountingrules.yaml

{auth} is the base-64-encoded value of username:password. For more information, see Authentication in our API reference.

“@accountingrules.yaml” represents the absolute path of the file on your device.

(Use “--data-raw” if you want to specify the YAML body inline).
