Hello, I have a question about sending a Journal Entry Post request
{
"line": {
"items": [
{
"account": {
"id": “119”
},
"credit": 400,
"memo": “Just Testing”
},
{
"account": {
"id": “148”
},
"debit": 400,
"memo": “”
}
]
},
"subsidiary": {
"id": "1",
},
"tranDate": "2025-11-3"
}
This journal entry posts successfully. However I would like to add an entity attachment below. In this case a customer
In the Journal Line Item docs ( https://system.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/APIs/REST_API_Browser/record/v1/2025.2/index.html#/definitions/journalEntry-lineElement ):
entity: one of: [ customer, partner, vendor, nsResource, employee, contact ]
I should be able to attach an entity id of a customer.
I attempted to modify the post request to include the entity of the customer id like so:
{
"line": {
"items": \[
{
"account": {
"id": "119"
},
"entity": {
"id": 28
},
"credit": 400,
"memo": "Ty Test"
},
{
"account": {
"id": "148"
},
"debit": 400,
"memo": ""
}
\]
},
"subsidiary": {
"id": "1",
},
"tranDate": "2025-11-3"
}
However I get a failure of
"title": "Bad Request",
"status": 400,
"o:errorDetails": \[
{
"detail": "Error while accessing a resource. You have entered an Invalid Field Value 28 for the following field: entity.",
I have verified that the customer entity id is in fact 28. Do I need to modify anything to specifically point to a customer then the customer id or do all entities share the same ID pool. Any help is appreciated thanks!
