Providing you have suitable access control permissions, you can view journal entry lines for an ABOR between two dates.

LUSID automatically generates journal entry lines when you create a trial balance but you might want to view them directly for audit purposes.

The following methods are available:

Using the LUSID web app

  1. Sign in to the LUSID web app as a user with suitable permissions.

  2. From the left-hand menu, select Financial Reporting > Journal Entry Lines.

  3. Select the ABOR to view journal entry lines for (highlighted in red below).

  4. Select the start and end dates, or choose one of the preset periods such as YTD (highlighted in green).

 

Using the LUSID API

  1. Obtain an API access token.

  2. Call the GetJournalEntryLines API, specifying the scope and code of an ABOR in the URL and, in the body of the request:

    • A start that is either a valid LUSID datetime or the code of an accounting diary entry.

    • An end that is either a valid LUSID datetime or the code of an accounting diary entry.

    • Optionally, a dateMode. The default value is ActivityDate. The alternative is AccountingDate. More information.

    • Optionally, a generalLedgerProfileCode to decorate levels (or categories) onto journal entry lines, enabling breakdown of account activity in a trial balance.

    • Optionally in the properties collection, any number of properties from the Instrument, Transaction, Portfolio, Account, LegalEntity or CustodianAccount domains to enrich the output.

Consider the following example, of journal entry lines for an ABOR with a scope of Abor and code of DailyNAV (in the URL):

curl -X POST 'https://<your-domain>.lusid.com/api/api/abor/Abor/DailyNAV/journalentrylines/$query'
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json-patch+json'
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <your-API-access-token>'
  -d '{
  "start": {
    "date": "2023-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+00:00"
  },
  "end": {
    "diaryEntry": "20230716"
  },
  "dateMode": "ActivityDate",
  "propertyKeys": ["Instrument/default/Name"]
}'
