Ask the ledger apps that keep any of the chart to sync it now

POST /accounts/managed/sync

Ask the ledger apps that keep any of the chart to sync it now — the Sync button under Settings › Chart of accounts.

The webhooks service tells each (chart.sync-requested), and its sync lands as PUT /accounts/managed in its own time; read the chart again to see it. 409 ChartNotManaged while no app keeps an account. Appends inventory.chart-sync-requested. No idempotency key: each press asks the apps again, and a sync that finds the chart as it stands appends nothing, so a repeated ask changes nothing twice.

Access

Requires settings:write or financials:write.

Any one of these scopes is enough.

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

Retries

No idempotency key: each press asks the apps again, and a sync that finds the chart as it stands appends nothing, so a repeated ask changes nothing twice.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

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: inventory-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://inventory.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
`ChartNotManaged`	No ledger app keeps the chart of accounts.	Connect a ledger app first.
`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.	Send the same request again shortly.
