[Journal Entries](https://developers.getcount.com/reference/journal-entries) / Bulk create journal entries

# Bulk create journal entries

POST `/partners/journal-entries/bulk`

Creates up to 100 journal entry postings in one request with partial-success semantics.

Body: `{ journalEntries: [<posting>, ...] }` where each posting uses the same shape as create journal entry. Each posting runs in its own transaction. HTTP 201 is returned when the batch is accepted, even if all postings fail — read `errorCount` and per-row `results`.

HMAC signature + Bearer access token
