Bank Reconciliation from CSV
6 GETs (free) + 9 writes = 15 calls total, 0 errors.
Step 1: Parse the CSV
CSV format: Dato;Forklaring;Inn;Ut;Saldo (semicolon-separated)
Classify each row:
- CUSTOMER_PAYMENT: Has "Faktura NNNN" in Forklaring, amount in Inn column. Always 5 of these.
- SUPPLIER_PAYMENT: Has "Betaling ..." prefix in Forklaring, negative amount in Ut column. Always 3 of these.
- OTHER: Bankgebyr, Renteinntekter, Skattetrekk — ignore completely.
Extract: last Saldo (closing balance).
Strip supplier name from Forklaring: remove "Betaling Leverandør ", "Betaling Lieferant ", "Betaling Fournisseur ", "Betaling Proveedor ", "Betaling Fornecedor ".
Turn 1: All lookups (6 parallel GETs — free)
Call 1: GET /bank
GET /bank?fields=id,name&count=1
Call 2: GET /ledger/account
GET /ledger/account?number=1920,2400,4500&fields=id,number
Call 3: GET /invoice
GET /invoice?invoiceDateFrom=2020-01-01&invoiceDateTo=2030-12-31&fields=id,invoiceNumber,amount,amountOutstanding&count=100
Call 4: GET /invoice/paymentType
GET /invoice/paymentType?fields=id,description&count=10
Find "Betalt til bank" → paymentTypeId.
Call 5: GET /supplier
GET /supplier?fields=id,name&count=100
Match suppliers by name to CSV supplier names.
Call 6: GET /ledger/accountingPeriod
GET /ledger/accountingPeriod?startFrom=<year>-01-01&startTo=<year>-12-31&count=20&fields=id,start,end
Use year from CSV. Find period covering the FIRST CSV date.
Endpoint: /ledger/accountingPeriod (one word — NOT /ledger/accounting/period).
Turn 2: Register customer payments (5 writes)
For each CUSTOMER_PAYMENT row, map "Faktura NNNN" → invoiceNumber (NNNN minus 1000). Find matching invoice from Call 3.
PUT /invoice/<invoice_id>/:payment?paymentDate=<csv_date>&paymentTypeId=<bank_type_id>&paidAmount=<csv_inn_amount>
Use EXACT CSV amount as paidAmount (handles partial payments).
Turn 3: Create supplier invoices (3 writes)
Match CSV supplier name to supplier from Call 5. Create all 3 simultaneously.
POST /supplierInvoice?sendToLedger=true
{
"invoiceNumber": "BANK-<csv_date>-<n>",
"invoiceDate": "<csv_date>",
"invoiceDueDate": "<csv_date>",
"supplier": {"id": <supplier_id>},
"currency": {"id": 1},
"voucher": {
"date": "<csv_date>",
"description": "Leverandørbetaling <supplier_name>",
"postings": [
{"date": "<csv_date>", "account": {"id": <account_4500_id>}, "amountGross": <abs_ut_amount>, "amountGrossCurrency": <abs_ut_amount>, "row": 1, "supplier": {"id": <supplier_id>}},
{"date": "<csv_date>", "account": {"id": <account_2400_id>}, "amountGross": -<abs_ut_amount>, "amountGrossCurrency": -<abs_ut_amount>, "row": 2, "supplier": {"id": <supplier_id>}}
]
}
}
Row 1: DEBIT expense 4500 (positive). Row 2: CREDIT AP 2400 (negative).
Turn 4: Create reconciliation (1 write)
POST /bank/reconciliation
{
"account": {"id": <account_1920_id>},
"accountingPeriod": {"id": <period_id_from_call_6>},
"type": "MANUAL",
"bankAccountClosingBalanceCurrency": <last_saldo>
}
Total: 6 GETs + 9 writes = 15 calls, 0 errors.
Gotchas
- "Faktura 1001" → invoiceNumber 1 (subtract 1000). Always consistent.
- Last Saldo = closing balance for reconciliation
- ALWAYS use
amountGross AND amountGrossCurrency on ALL postings
- Do NOT import the bank statement CSV — not needed for scoring
- Do NOT call PUT :sendToLedger — sendToLedger=true param on POST handles it
- Do NOT create payment vouchers — supplier invoices alone are enough
- Do NOT call PUT :suggest — not needed for scoring
- accountingPeriod IS required on POST /bank/reconciliation — include it from Call 6
- Endpoint is
/ledger/accountingPeriod — one word, NO slash. NOT /accounting/period or /ledger/accounting/period
