If I add a “project” or “rebill_to_project” key to a bank transaction
explanation I get this
Project expected, got String
How do I specify the project associated to a bank transaction explanation
please?
Thx
Hi there,
I’m afraid FreeAgent doesn’t support the direct association of projects
against bank transaction explanations.
If you’re looking to rebill a transaction to a client, you should use the
API to create a bill, associated with the desired project.
You’ll need to set the “rebill_type” parameter to “cost”, indicating you
want to rebill the cost of the bill to your client.
If you have a Money Out bank transaction in the bank, you can then create a
Bank Transaction Explanation with a “paid_bill” parameter, indicating the
money you’ve spent was to pay off the bill you’ve incurred.
I hope this helps.

Sorry, I should have said that the* FreeAgent API* doesn’t currently
support linking bank transaction explanation and projects.
As you may have noticed, the web interface does allow this, but only for
Money Out transactions.
I have created a Feature Request on our API Trello board, documenting your
request for this functionality.
Please add your vote to this card as we’re hoping to implement our most
popular feature requests in the coming months.
Thanks,

Hi Fed and Greg,
FreeAgent API now fully supports linking bank transaction explanations with
projects. Here are a couple of examples with attributes:
Example 1: Link a project without rebilling
{ “bank_transaction_explanation”:
{
project: “https://api.freeagent.com/v2/projects/1”,
rebill_type: null,
…
}
}
Example 2: Rebill at 25% markup
{ “bank_transaction_explanation”:
{
project: “https://api.freeagent.com/v2/projects/1”,
rebill_type: “markup”,
rebill_factor: 0.25
…
}
}
Please refer to the updated documentation
https://dev.freeagent.com/docs/bank_transaction_explanations for more
details.
Kind regards.

I suspect they’re superfluous and, if so, I’ll look at getting them
removed, to avoid future confusion.I’m sorry that I can’t give you better news at this point but please keep
