JournalEntries

Create, update, delete, and query Reckon Journal Entries. Note that while Journal Entry Lines can be created with a new Journal Entry, they cannot be added or removed from an existing Journal Entry.

Table Specific Information

JournalEntries are unique in that the Credit Line Items and Debit Line Items must add up to the same total in one transaction. It is not possible to change a Journal Line Item one at a time and thus end up with an unbalanced transaction.

Select

By default, SupportEnhancedSQL is set to true, and the following will be honored if present. Other filters will be executed client side. If SupportEnhancedSQL is set to false, only the following filters will be honored.

Reckon Accounts Hosted allows only a small subset of columns to be used in the WHERE clause of a SELECT query. These columns can typically be used with only the equals or = comparison. The available columns for JournalEntries are Id, Date, TimeCreated, ReferenceNumber, LineEntityName, LineEntityId, LineAccount, and LineAccountId. TimeModified and Date may be used with the >, >=, <, <=, or = conditions and may be used twice to specify a range. ReferenceNumber may be used with the = or LIKE conditions to establish a starts-with, ends-with, or contains syntax. For example:

SELECT * FROM JournalEntries WHERE TimeModified > '1/1/2011' AND TimeModified < '2/1/2011' AND ReferenceNumber LIKE '%12345%'

Insert

To add a JournalEntry, specify at least one Credit and one Debit Line. The LineAggregate column may be used to specify an XML aggregate of JournalEntry Line data. The columns that may be used in these aggregates are defined in the JournalEntryLines table and it starts with Line. For example, the following will insert a new JournalEntry with two Credit Lines and one Debit Line:

INSERT Into JournalEntries 
         (ReferenceNumber, LineAggregate) 
VALUES   ('12345', 
'<JournalEntryLines>
<Row><LineType>Credit</LineType><LineAccount>Retained Earnings</LineAccount><LineAmount>100</LineAmount></Row>
<Row><LineType>Credit</LineType><LineAccount>Note Payable - Bank of Anycity</LineAccount><LineAmount>20</LineAmount></Row>
<Row><LineType>Debit</LineType><LineAccount>Checking</LineAccount><LineAmount>120</LineAmount></Row>
</JournalEntryLines>')

To insert subitems, set the ItemName field to the FullName of the item; for example, '<Row><ItemName>Subs:Carpet</ItemName><ItemQuantity>0</ItemQuantity></Row>'

To delete a JournalEntry, simply perform a DELETE statement and set the Id equal to the JournalEntryId you wish to delete. For example:

DELETE From JournalEntries WHERE Id='16336-1450196662'

Pseudo-Columns

Pseudo Column fields are used in the WHERE clause of SELECT statements and offer a more granular control over the tuples that are returned from the data source.
