Steps
Call the payment-posting endpoint to record a guest payment against a reservation
Retrieve posted transactions from the accounting transactions endpoint
Filter by external_relation_kind equal to PAYMENT and external_relation_id equal to the payment's id to isolate that specific payment's ledger entry
Confirm pending transactions (room charges, taxes, add-ons) become retrievable via the Accounting API once the night audit completes
Treat posted transactions as immutable; issue offsetting entries rather than attempting to edit a posted transaction
Known gotchas
Posted transactions are immutable by design; correcting a mistake requires a new offsetting transaction, not an edit to the original
Charges generated before night audit (room, tax, add-on) are not retrievable through the Accounting API until the night audit process completes
The /accounting/v1.0/transactions endpoint replaced older, now-deprecated transaction endpoints, so older integration guides referencing the previous endpoints are out of date
