Period Summary - Start Summary Error

Ty Walters

Hi everyone!

I'm pulling in summary data into an internal db for our own KPIs. When I try to start a period summary (https://api.sky.blackbaud.com/generalledger/v1/periodsummary/summarize) that is for the current year (period is "closed"), I'm getting this error 400 here :

{
"Error": "Failed to get summary",
"Details": [
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
],
"ErrorPath": null
}

This isn't really giving me any good information on what the exact problem is. Any ideas? I know the period exists as I can see it on the dashboard.

Nevermind. Found the issue.

I'm not able to get access to the Fiscal period id as I do not have security access to the control panel fiscal year settings. According to the admin over our Fin Edge instance, they would have to give me full admin rights to access this. Does anyone know if there is a specific security setting they can give the account ?
