# Journal entry

This section provides information of the accounting entries that must be extracted from the source system and sent to the TaxCompliance application.

Accounting entries are records of accounting facts that happen daily in a company, being all the company's transactions. It is through them that the property changes take place.

In the example below, it is possible to verify the payload structure, as well as the functional description of the attributes:

```
[	{ "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"		}, "EstabelecimentoFiscal": { "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"			}, "Codigo": "0001"		}, "CodigoLancamento": "0090119962", "DataLancamento": "2020-07-01", "TipoLancamento": "N", "PlanoConta": { "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"			}, "GrupoContabil": { "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"				}, "Codigo": "0"			}, "Codigo": "0000112110"		}, "CentroCusto": { "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"			}, "Codigo": "0000110050"		}, "Sequencia": 1, "Valor": 62.0, "Natureza": "D", "Descricao": "Descrição Lançamento: 0090119962", "TipoLancamentoERP": "RV"	}]
```

It is worth mentioning that, in order to optimize performance, this is a simplified endpoint, which does not upsert the relational objects (`Lookup`or `Foreign Key`).
