Accounting Setup

  --header "Authorization: Basic {credentials}" \
  --header "Fineract-Platform-TenantId: default"

Create a GL Account

curl --request POST \
  --url "https://your-instance.com/fineract-provider/api/v1/glaccounts" \
  --header "Authorization: Basic {credentials}" \
  --header "Fineract-Platform-TenantId: default" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "name": "Cash in Hand",
    "glCode": "1001",
    "type": 1,
    "usage": 1,

    ],

      }
    ]
  }'
