Journal Entry Batch issue with project and Transaction codes

Nikunj Prajapati

Hi,

I have below Journal batch entry where one entry is for credit and another is for debit and this is created with FENXT portal. Now here if you see that I requires to set Project & Transaction Code values for Debit entry and not required for Credit entry. And this Batch saved and validated.

Now when i retrieve this same batch through SKY api it returns the below response which is fine

But now when i am trying to same request through the api it requires the project, transaction code values as like below and if i am not specifying project in credit entry then it throws "You must specify a project for transactions in fund 01" error.

}
],
"amount": 10
}
]
}
]
}


So i am not sure why without project or transaction code from portal its working and not working through the api. Please help me with this.
