Inputs
- Id (required) — External identifier for the Journal Entry record to insert or update.
- Debug Mode — Include full request and response info in the output if enabled.
- Additional Fields — Optional fields for the Journal Entry including accounting details, approval status, date, memo, lines, subsidiary information, reversal details, and more.
- Custom Fields — List of custom fields with their names, types, and values to add or update on the Journal Entry.
Output shape
a JSON object representing the inserted or updated Journal Entry record, including optionally debugging information if requested.

Example 2: Update an existing Journal Entry by external Id to add memo and mark as reversal.
Specify the existing external Id, set 'memo' and 'isReversal' in Additional Fields, with optional custom fields.
