Hi Varsha,

This sounds like you're missing the Financial Edge NXT- specific user and security setup. For this call to work, you have to have created a user in the Financial Edge NXT system who has rights to add/edit journal entries, and an FE administrator can do that; that's not something we can do. Once you have that user and you can do a quick test and login to the software to make sure they can add journal entries, There's a good authorization overview at https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/docs/authorization


Please post here if you are still having issues, and one of us can help. Thanks!.

Thanks Eddie! I have reached out to our customer to do that. It was previously working and then suddenly stopped in November. May be the original user is not with the customer anymore. I'll let you know if we have any issues.
