API Reference

# Reconciliations

Start a bank reconciliation draft for an account statement period, correct or delete it while it is a draft, then complete it to mark reviewed journal entries as reconciled.

Last updated 2026-10-03

## Overview

The Reconciliations API creates a draft reconciliation for a bank/cash account statement period, lets you correct or delete the draft, and completes it once the ending balance is verified.

Completing a reconciliation is the only Partner API way to set `reconciled: true` on transactions/journal entries — there is no direct writable field for it.

## Key concepts

### Create then complete

POST /partners/reconciliations creates a DRAFT. PATCH /partners/reconciliations/{uuid}/complete locks it and stamps reviewed journal entries in the period as reconciled.

### Opening balance is automatic

The earliest open draft opens on the account’s last completed reconciliation, and each later draft opens on the ending balance of the draft before it. You only supply endingBalanceDate and endingBalanceAmount; updating or deleting a draft re-derives the opening balance of every later draft.

### Correcting a draft

PATCH /partners/reconciliations/{uuid} changes the ending date and/or amount of a draft. DELETE /partners/reconciliations/{uuid} removes a draft so you can create the right one; a draft has reconciled nothing, so no transactions or journal entries change. Completed reconciliations are undone in COUNT, not through the API.

### Date ordering

Reconciliations must complete in date order. Create and update reject if a draft/completed reconciliation already exists for that date, or if a later completed reconciliation already exists for the account.

### autoReconcile

On complete, `autoReconcile: true` also marks unreviewed entries in the period as reviewed and reconciles them. Defaults to false — only what a human already reviewed.

## The reconciliation object

Draft or completed reconciliation for one account and statement ending date.

#### Attributes

`id` uuid

Reconciliation UUID. Pass to update, delete, or complete.

`accountUuid` uuid

Account UUID from the chart of accounts (bank/cash account).

`endingBalanceDate` date

Statement ending date (YYYY-MM-DD).

`endingBalanceAmount` number

Statement ending balance.

`status` string

Typically draft until completed.

Example

```json
{
  "id": "778899aa-bbcc-ddee-ff00-112233445566",
  "accountUuid": "c8d9e0f1-a2b3-4567-cdef-789012345678",
  "endingBalanceDate": "2026-03-31",
  "endingBalanceAmount": 12500.45,
  "status": "draft"
}
```

Closed books

Complete rejects with 400 if the ending balance date falls in a book-closed sealed period.

MCP equivalents

COUNT_create_reconciliation, COUNT_update_reconciliation, COUNT_delete_reconciliation, and COUNT_complete_reconciliation.

## Recent changes

Bill submit and refunds, reconciliation drafts, report filters, 30 MCP tools, and the Claude plugin

Documented the five partner routes the reference was missing: POST /partners/bills/{uuid}/submit, POST /partners/bills/{uuid}/assign-transaction (pay a bill, or refund a vendor memo with an income transaction), PATCH /partners/invoices/{uuid}/add-transactions (including credit memo refunds), and PATCH and DELETE /partners/reconciliations/{uuid} for correcting or discarding a draft. The account transactions report gains a reference-number range (checkNumberFrom/checkNumberTo) and the unknown-counterparty drill-down (unknownCustomerAr/unknownVendorAp), both accrual-only. Invoice and credit memo lines accept free-text Custom lines with categoryAccountUuid and name. Corrected the reference where it disagreed with the backend: dueDate is required on invoices and estimates, bills move through submitted and rejected as well as draft and approved, and a bill does have its own assign-transaction route. npm run check:parity now reports 178 documented routes against 178 backend routes. The MCP catalog adds 30 tools — customer contacts, addresses, notes, merge and revenue overview, GST settings, bill submit and memo refunds, reconciliation draft update/delete, COUNT_find_tool, COUNT_report_problem, and saved AI skills — moving the advertised count from 180 to 210. New pages cover the COUNT Claude plugin (/tools/claude-plugin) and the MCP brain, workspace memory and problem reports (/guides/mcp-brain-and-memory), and the FAQ gains the connector and API topics COUNT_knowledge serves to agents.

Connections, reconciliations, opening balance, workspace cutover, and transaction bulk ops

Documented Partner API groups for bank Connections (including Plaid Hosted Link connect/complete/reconnect), Reconciliations (create draft + complete), Opening Balance (get/set conversion balance), and Workspace (PATCH cutoverDate). Added PATCH /partners/transactions/change-category-bulk and exclude-bulk. Removed non-existent POST /partners/bills/bulk and /partners/invoices/bulk from the reference. Extended the MCP tool catalog with the matching COUNT_* tools plus remote-only COUNT_get_bulk_task_status and COUNT_remember/recall/forget.
