The GeneralLedgerTransaction object

Beta

A General Ledger Entry is a record of a financial transaction that is posted to the general ledger, the central repository of a company’s financial data.

The GeneralLedgerTransaction object is a singular endpoint to pull all transactions posted to a company’s general ledger. The transaction that generated the GeneralLedgerTransaction can be found by referencing the underlying_transaction_type and underlying_transaction_remote_id fields.

The lines of a GeneralLedgerTransaction object will always have equal amounts of debits and credits.
