Overview

Allowance transactions would explain changes to an allocation ledger, such as consumption or reversal. They are not necessarily bank-payment transactions.

Key concepts

Link each entry to its source expense and period. Use a distinct reversal reference rather than deleting an original entry.

Implementation considerations

Avoid counting the same expense twice after retries or resubmission. Currency and entry direction must be explicit.

Proposed API behavior

GET /v1/allowances/{allowance_id}/transactions 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.

Proposed path parameters
Name	Type	Description
allowance_idrequired	string	Stable fictional allowance reference; not a secret and not evidence that a resource exists.

No additional request fields are illustrated; this is not a finalized contract.

Fictional response example

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

Illustrative error case

Review this failure case in context: Avoid counting the same expense twice after retries or resubmission. Currency and entry direction must be explicit.

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 allowance transactions operation requires review of its input or authorization.",
    "request_id": "req_example_123"
  }
}

Proposed data types

Illustrative field dictionary
Name	Type	Description
allowance_id	string	Stable fictional allowance reference; not a secret and not evidence that a resource exists.
expense_id	string	Stable fictional expense reference; not a secret and not evidence that a resource exists.
amount_minor	integer	Monetary amount in the documented currency minor unit; 12550 represents USD 125.50, not USD 12,550.
entry_type	string	Illustrative entry type value; interpret it only within the proposed topic-specific model described above.
