Re: API to insert an AR Transaction

[John Locke <..hidden..>]

Hi,

Our technique for doing this is a bit different. I use the Curl library
to do an http post to the LedgerSMB server, containing the post details.
It's actually a two-step process: first post with customer details, then
parse form to get the line item ids, then post the final. You can get
the post details out of the form being sent to the server from the UI.

This technique also works with the CLI.

Cheers,
