This endpoint performs the same balancing logic as the frontend, applying: 1. Auto-fetching of exchange rates if not provided (requires date field) 2. Exchange rate roll-forward from native to book to consolidation currencies 3. Exchange rate plugging to ensure consolidation amounts match across currencies within an entity 4. Automatic creation of balancing transactions when debits != credits at any currency level The endpoint accepts a partial intercompany journal entry with transactions and optionally exchange rates, and returns the balanced version with: - Auto-fetched exchange rates (if exchange_rates is empty and date is provided) - Updated transactions with calculated book and consolidation amounts - New balancing transactions added where needed - Plugged exchange rates to maintain consolidation consistency This is useful for: - Validating journal entries before submission - Understanding what balancing entries will be created - Testing multi-currency and multi-entity scenarios - Auto-fetching exchange rates for the journal date ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.meetcampfire.com/api/schema?format=json post /coa/api/intercompany-journal-entry/balance openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Campfire Developer APIs version: 1.0.0 description: > ## Introduction Campfire's developer APIs offer granular access to Campfire's core accounting, revenue recognition, and financial data features.
