# Examples of invoice accountings

Use `accountdate` and `accountrow` when you export invoice accounting entries to your ERP.

### accountdate

`accountdate` controls the accounting period in your ERP.

It is not the same as the invoice date (`billdate`).

If you omit `accountdate`, the service uses `billdate`.

Send it under the invoice `dataset`.

```json
{
  "accountdate": "2026-02-18"
}
```

### accountrow

`accountrow` is an array of accounting rows for the invoice.

Each row typically maps to one debit or credit entry in your chart of accounts.

Send it under the invoice `dataset`.

#### Dimensions

You can pass dimensions using:

* `servicecode_name`
* `type`, `type2`, …, `type10`

`type`…`type10` are strings with max length 10.

### Example: Debit invoice (total 1250.00)

Expected behavior:

* Receivable on the debit side.
* Sales on the credit side.
* `netamount` and `vatamount` are positive.
* Use the same dimensions, VAT data, and tax rate on both entries.

```json
{
  "accountrow": [
    {
      "accountid": 1701,
      "desc": "Invoice line",
      "debit": 1250.0,
      "credit": null,
      "netamount": 1000.0,
      "vatamount": 250.0,
      "taxpr": 25,
      "vatcode": 3,
      "servicecode_name": "10000",
      "type": "XYZ",
      "type2": null,
      "type3": null,
      "type4": null,
      "type5": null,
      "type6": null
    },
    {
      "accountid": 3000,
      "desc": "Invoice line",
      "debit": null,
      "credit": 1250.0,
      "netamount": 1000.0,
      "vatamount": 250.0,
      "taxpr": 25,
      "vatcode": 3,
      "servicecode_name": "10000",
      "type": "XYZ",
      "type2": null,
      "type3": null,
      "type4": null,
      "type5": null,
      "type6": null
    }
  ]
}
```

### Example: Credit invoice (total -1250.00)

Expected behavior:

* Receivable on the credit side.
* Sales on the debit side.
* `netamount` and `vatamount` are negative.
* Use the same dimensions, VAT data, and tax rate on both entries.

```json
{
  "accountrow": [
    {
      "accountid": 1701,
      "desc": "Invoice line",
      "debit": null,
      "credit": 1250.0,
      "netamount": -1000.0,
      "vatamount": -250.0,
      "taxpr": 25,
      "vatcode": 3,
      "servicecode_name": "10000",
      "type": "XYZ",
      "type2": null,
      "type3": null,
      "type4": null,
      "type5": null,
      "type6": null
    },
    {
      "accountid": 3000,
      "desc": "Invoice line",
      "debit": 1250.0,
      "credit": null,
      "netamount": -1000.0,
      "vatamount": -250.0,
      "taxpr": 25,
      "vatcode": 3,
      "servicecode_name": "10000",
      "type": "XYZ",
      "type2": null,
      "type3": null,
      "type4": null,
      "type5": null,
      "type6": null
    }
  ]
}
```
