Reconstructed Data
Reconstructed Data refers to the data that Accounting Data as a Service™ reconstructs for specific ERPs that do not expose certain data types via their APIs. When querying through the API, you can include the reconstruct=true
parameter to receive this reconstructed data.
This functionality is particularly useful for accessing data types that are not exposed via APIs by certain ERPs, such as Balance Sheets. By passing this option, you ensure that your application can work with a complete dataset, even when some data types are not originally exposed.
Cash Flow Statements
It's important to note that cash flow statements are not reconstructed because the ERPs do not support cash-based accounting.
