A page of ledger entries

GET /ledger

A page of ledger entries, newest effective date first (entry id breaking ties), optionally narrowed to one SKU (sku), a SKU substring (q), an entry type, and a period — from inclusive, to exclusive, on the entry's effective date.

total counts every match; limit is 1–500 (100 when omitted). cogs entries post at ship (dispatch) authorisation; cogs-correction entries post when a supplier invoice or landed cost lands after units were already sold; cogs-reversal entries post when a refund physically returns units; write-down entries post the loss on written-off stock (and the damaged share of a restocking refund) at layer cost — the original entry is never rewritten. Served from accounting's incrementally folded ledger: a read first applies whatever the source journals committed since the last one.

Access

Requires financials:read.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: accounting-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://accounting.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Try again shortly.
