Limitations & exceptions

​
PDF attachments are not supported

e-Boekhouden’s REST API does not expose an endpoint for uploading file attachments.
  • The pdf field in POST /accounting/journal-entries and POST /accounting/invoices is accepted by Chift but silently ignored. No attachment is transmitted to e-Boekhouden.
  • POST /accounting/invoices/pdf/{invoice_id} returns ERROR_RESOURCE_NOT_SUPPORTED.
There is no workaround available. PDF uploads only work through the e-Boekhouden web interface, which does not go through their API.
