# List the entity's vendor prepayments

> Lists the entity's vendor prepayments, by default the open ones (active or partially applied, the money still out with vendors), or one status, or `all` (voided included), filtered by vendor and by purchase order. `segment_counts` counts every status over the same vendor and purchase-order filters but not the status filter, and `meta.total_open_balance` is the open sum. Paginated with `page` and `per_page` (up to 100); requires `ap:read` scope.

  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.


    **October 2026: the order status values are the ones the API sends.** The
    `Order` schema's

    `order_status`, `payment_status`, `fulfillment_status` and `document_type`
    now list the values

    the order endpoints actually return (`order_status`: draft, open,
    processing, fulfilled,

    cancelled, archived, expired, awaiting_ach_clearance; `payment_status`:
    unpaid, partial,

    processing, paid, refunded, terms, overdue, overpaid, partially_refunded;
    `fulfillment_status`:

    unfulfilled, partial, fulfilled, backordered, awaiting_pickup;
    `document_type` adds

    late_fee_invoice). The values themselves did not change; the schema had
    listed names the API

    never sends (`confirmed`, `partially_paid`, `partially_fulfilled`, `voided`,
    `on_hold`), so a

    client generated from it could reject a real order. On `POST /v1/orders`,
    `order_status` is

    limited to `draft` only for a `sales_order` or `invoice`. The refusals of
    the order, refund,

    settings and deposit endpoints are now listed with their `code` values on
    each response.


    **October 2026: a pair of bank lines in transit at a month end is an open
    item there.** `GET /v1/entities/{entity_id}/reconciliation/account-audit`,
    `answers.books_against_bank`,

    each `month_ends` row: when the two bank lines of a pair matched together to
    one bill payment (a

    wire and its return) fall on either side of that date,
    `bank_unbooked_amount` and

    `bank_unbooked_count` now include the line already in the bank, and
    `gl_uncleared_amount` and

    `gl_uncleared_count` include the payment's bank leg;
    `explained_by_open_items` therefore explains

    that date instead of leaving the part in transit unexplained. No field is
    renamed and no other

    date moves; once both lines are in the bank the pair counts nowhere, as
    every other match.


    **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.
