Accounting Exports — Proposed Guide

Overview

An export could package reviewed accounting data in a reproducible format. Export state should distinguish preparation, download and any later provider acknowledgment.

Key concepts

Record source filters, mapping version and field format. A repeat export needs a defined deduplication strategy.

Implementation considerations

No export job runs here. Do not mark source records posted solely because an export file was prepared.

Proposed API behavior

POST /v1/accounting/exports is an illustrative design for this topic. Path and field names may change before implementation. Access would require an authorized organization context and operation-specific permission; no public API or authorization grant is available here.

Illustrative request fields
Name	Type	Description
format	string	Proposed representation format; no export file is generated.
subsidiary_id	string	Stable fictional subsidiary reference; not a secret and not evidence that a resource exists.
accounting_period_id	string	Stable fictional accounting period reference; not a secret and not evidence that a resource exists.
mapping_version	integer	Revision of the source-to-target field transformation used for this representation.

Static example requests

Proposed, non-executing request examples

# Proposed request text only; this reserved host is not a live API.
curl -X POST 'https://api.remizen.example/v1/accounting/exports' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "format": "csv",
  "subsidiary_id": "sub_example_123",
  "accounting_period_id": "accounting_period_example_123",
  "mapping_version": 1
}'

Fictional response example

201 (proposed example)Static response fixture

Fictional documentation data only. No request was sent, record created, review performed, payment initiated or provider connection activated.

JSON

{
  "data": {
    "format": "csv",
    "accounting_period_id": "accounting_period_example_123",
    "mapping_version": 1,
    "id": "accounting_example_123",
    "organization_id": "org_example_123"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "req_example_123",
    "reference_only": true
  }
}

Illustrative error case

Review this failure case in context: No export job runs here. Do not mark source records posted solely because an export file was prepared.

422 (illustrative; final error contracts are undecided)Proposed error fixture

Synthetic diagnostic example. Human-readable messages must not be used as stable programmatic contracts.

JSON

{
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_error",
    "message": "The proposed accounting exports operation requires review of its input or authorization.",
    "request_id": "req_example_123"
  }
}

Proposed data types

Illustrative field dictionary
Name	Type	Description
format	string	Proposed representation format; no export file is generated.
subsidiary_id	string	Stable fictional subsidiary reference; not a secret and not evidence that a resource exists.
accounting_period_id	string	Stable fictional accounting period reference; not a secret and not evidence that a resource exists.
mapping_version	integer	Revision of the source-to-target field transformation used for this representation.
