LEDGER_UNBALANCED_JOURNAL

Journal does not balance

HTTP status 500 Internal Server Error, code LEDGER_UNBALANCED_JOURNAL.

What it means#

A journal was about to be written whose postings do not sum to zero. Double-entry forbids it, and the write was refused. This is a defect in the code that built the journal, not in the request.

What to do#

Report the request id. Nothing was written.

On the wire#

Every error response carrying this code names this page in error.moreInfo, with the request id in the query string. See Error codes for the response shape and the list of every code.
