An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment John commentedPresently the API for posting manual journals accepts tracking categories and options only by name using the "Name" and "Option" fields. It allows the "TrackingCategoryID" and "TrackingOptionID" fields to be entered and the API even validates that the format of these entries are properly formed GUIDs, but doesn't use them to determine the Category or Option to be applied.
The issue here is that the user can rename the existing Categories and Options and that breaks the interface unless you know that you need to update these also in your application; using the GUIDs overcomes this as it is a unique identifier and is not dependent on getting the names exactly right.John supported this idea ·
I want to add that we believe this to be a bug in the API
