# Suggest payment matches for a deposit

> Returns a scored list of candidate customer payment receipts that could match an inbound bank transaction, ranked by amount and date proximity, and flags whether a receipt was deposited to this bank account, a different one, or an unknown one. Read-only; requires `accounting:read` scope, and optional `search`, `window_days`, or `amount_tolerance` parameters widen the match window beyond its default.

  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.

    **Changelog.** Entries are dated and name every published contract whose
    MEANING moved, not

    only the ones whose field names changed. The narrative version of the same
    entries, written

    for integrators, is published at https://arcuserp.mintlify.app/changelog.


    **2026-09-22 (planned 2026-09-21), REORDER-BUYER-TRUTH: demand changed what
    it MEANS on three

    published contracts, with no field renamed.** An integrator that pins field
    names sees no

    breakage and different numbers, which is why this entry exists.

      - **Demand now counts build consumption.** `demand_avg_per_day` on the public product, kit
        and inventory-balance objects, and `daily_demand` / `demand_basis` / `net_suggested_qty`
        on `GET /v1/purchasing/reorder-report`, are composed from fulfilled sales lines PLUS
        posted `build_consume` inventory draws: each physical decrement of a product counts
        exactly once. The previous rule adopted an internal-consumption basis only when the sales
        blend was exactly zero, so a product both sold AND consumed into work orders planned as
        if the build draws did not exist. Products drawn into work orders move; on one
        production-shaped dataset five did, the largest from 0.05/day to 14.95/day.
      - **`demand_basis` now carries four values, not two:** `sales`, `sales_and_builds`,
        `builds` and `consumption`. A consumer with a two-branch reader (anything that is not
        `consumption` is `sales`) silently hides the two new ones.
      - **`current_demand_units` on `GET /v1/inventory/balances/:id` moved, by a second rule.**
        It counts committed-but-unshipped CUSTOMER demand, and it now counts a kit component's
        own line rather than its parent kit line, and excludes non-sales documents. On one
        production dataset 269 of 1,043 balance rows changed, 227 of them downward; the largest
        single move was 1,941 to 25, on a product whose open PURCHASE order line had been
        reported as customer demand. Re-baseline anything that alerts or reorders off this field.
      - `run_rate_30/90/180/365` and `blended_daily` on the same balance object move for the
        first reason above.
      - **Added, not changed:** `GET /v1/purchasing/reorder-report` accepts `demand_window` and
        returns the unit, cover-through and reorder-point-provenance fields documented on that
        operation; `order_multiple` is accepted and returned on the product-vendor doors.
      - **Volume note.** The `inventory.low_stock`, `inventory.out_of_stock` and
        `inventory.back_in_stock` webhook events are population-gated on
        `on_hand <= reorder_point`, and reorder points move with the demand above, so
        subscribers should expect a one-time step change in event volume around the release.
