I’m using the SOAP method getPostingTransactionSummary to get a trial balance for balance sheet accounts. Why might the results not match with the UI?

getPostingTransactionSummary

is used to fetch account balances for specific periods. However, there could be several reasons why the results might not match with the UI: 1. Data Filtering: The SOAP method allows you to filter data by period. If the filtering parameters are not set correctly, it could lead to discrepancies between the API results and the UI. 2. Data Timing: The SOAP method might be fetching current data, not data by month. If the data in the UI is not current, this could lead to discrepancies. 3. System Accounts: If you are using a custom balance sheet, system accounts could be left out, such as Currency Translation Adjustment (CTA) or other currency-related effects. This could cause discrepancies between the API results and the UI. 4. Data Synchronization: There might be a delay in data synchronization between the API and the UI, leading to temporary discrepancies. 5. API Limitations: The SOAP method might have limitations in terms of the data it can fetch or the way it fetches data, leading to discrepancies with the UI. Please ensure to double-check your filtering parameters, the timing of your data, and the type of balance sheet you are using. Also, consider the potential limitations of the SOAP method and the possibility of data synchronization delays.
