Where a ledger entry comes from

Every ledger entry carries a source that tells you which part of Infinity posted it. Use it to tell the bookings you made yourself apart from those Infinity keeps in sync with something else — and to know where an entry has to be changed or undone.

manual

You posted the entry yourself, either in the ledger of the app or through this API. These are the only entries that can be deleted through the API.

customer-invoice

The entry belongs to a customer invoice (Forderung): its positions when the invoice is posted, its payments, and the corrections that go with them such as discounts, rebates, rounding differences, overpayments and exchange rate differences. Change the invoice to change these bookings.

vendor-invoice

The entry belongs to a vendor invoice (Lieferantenrechnung, Kreditor): the expense and payable when the invoice is recorded, and the bookings of its payments including rounding differences and overpayments.

bank

The entry was posted from a synchronised bank transaction (Bankbewegung) in Live Accounting. It follows the bank statement, so it is changed by reassigning the underlying bank transaction rather than by editing the entry.

vat

The entry was posted by the VAT settlement of a VAT period, or by the payment of the VAT owed to the Federal Tax Administration. These entries appear when a VAT period is settled.

closing

The entry was posted when a fiscal year was opened or closed: opening balances, accruals and deferrals, depreciation, and the appropriation of the profit or loss.

reversal

The entry reverses another entry (Storno). Its reverses property holds the id of the entry it reverses, and that entry in turn points back at it with reversedBy.

salary

The entry was posted by a salary payment, with the wage expense and the deductions it involves.
