Account Payable API - how-to create a miscellaneous entry

Bob Devine

We are currently unable to find a way to create the Miscellaneous entry on an invoice {post} in Accounts Payable API.

We can do this through the UI and the csv import - but not the api. Does anyone know what we are missing?

Hi Bob,

Miscellaneous entries have been deprecated in Financial Edge NXT, and will not be available via SKY API. A few years ago, we enabled negative distributions in invoices, and that is available in Financial Edge NXT and SKY API.


For example, you can have an invoice for a net of 100.00 with these distributions:

100.00 credit to AP Summary

100.00 credit to AP Expense 1

200.00 debit to AP Expense 2


Leaving you with a 100.00 debit to expenses, and a 100.00 credit to your AP liability account. The net of the invoice cannot be negative. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks - I will try that.
