# Match a bank deposit to a customer payment receipt

> <Note>Required API key scope: `accounting:write`</Note>

Atomically links an inbound bank transaction to an `order_payments` receipt
by setting `bank_transactions.matched_order_payment_id` and flipping
`reconciliation_status` to `'matched'`.

**No GL postings occur.** The GL entry (DR Bank / CR AR) was posted
when the payment receipt was recorded. This operation records only the
reconciliation link for the bank statement.

**Guards enforced:**
- Transaction must be inbound (`direction='in'` or NULL); outbound transactions
  use the AP-side matcher instead.
- Transaction must not already be matched to a customer payment.
- Payment status must be `posted`, `partial_refund`, or `succeeded`.
- Entity isolation: bank transaction and order payment must belong to the
  same entity as the API key.

**Amount warning:** If the absolute difference between the bank transaction
amount and the payment amount exceeds $0.05, `amount_warning` is populated
in the response (non-blocking, for operator awareness).

**A.2 Multi-invoice payments:** Payments where `order_id IS NULL` (applied
across multiple invoices) are fully supported as match targets.

**Idempotency:** Matching an already-matched transaction to the same payment
is a no-op returning the same `matched: true` response.




## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Arcus ERP Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data
    migration.


    **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header.

    Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_<code>_<random>` (or
    `ark_test_*` for sandbox).

    API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**.


    **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are
    flat

    (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform
    endpoints

    (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the

    `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags.


    **Key capabilities.**
      - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource).
      - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`).
      - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
      - Webhook events for asynchronous notification.
      - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation.
