Gl journal entry (v1)
Gl journal entry is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. General ledger journal entries: payroll, payables, receivables and manual postings. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.
