JournalEntrySyncModel

The JournalEntrySyncModel represents information coming into Lockstep from an external financial system or other
enterprise resource planning system. To import data from an external system, convert your original data into
the JournalEntrySyncModel format and call the Upload Sync File API.
This API retrieves all of the data you uploaded in a compressed ZIP file and imports it into the Lockstep
platform.

Once imported, this record will be available in the Lockstep API as a JournalEntryModel

For more information on writing your own connector, see Connector Data.
