A manual code is any code that has no `xero_id` or `quickbooks_id`, which indicates it was imported from an external accounting platform. The manual codes will be deleted after reassignment, with all references to them updated to the target accounting code. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /spec/openapi.json post /accounting_codes/{accounting_code}/merge openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Nmbr API description: API to interact with Nmbr Payroll version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://sandbox.nmbr.co/services/payroll security: - CompanyToken: [] tags: - name: Accounting Codes - name: Accounting Code Rules - name: Adjustments - name: Allowances - name: Allowance Line Items - name: Allowance Types - name: Async Tasks - name: Bank Accounts - name: Business Entities - name: Business Entity Verifications - name: Business Entity ROE Authorizations - name: Business Presets - name: Calculations - name: Companies - name: Contractors - name: Deductions - name: Deduction Line Items - name: Deduction Types - name: Earnings - name: Earning Line Items - name: Earning Types - name: Effective Tax Properties - name: Employees - name: Employee Benefits - name: Employee Benefit Line Items - name: Employee Benefit Types - name: Employer Benefits - name: Employer Benefit Line Items - name: Employer Benefit Types - name: Employer Statutory Withholding Line Items - name: Employer Statutory Withholding Types - name: Forms - name: Form Batches - name: Form Types - name: Holidays - name: Integrations - name: Journal Entries - name: Overtime Rates - name: Partners - name: Pay Rates - name: Pay Schedules - name: Pay Splits - name: Pay Stubs - name: Payments - name: Payrolls - name: Reimbursements - name: Reimbursement Line Items - name: Reimbursement Types - name: Remittance Accounts - name: Remittance Account Enrollments - name: Reports - name: Statutory Withholding Line Items - name: Statutory Withholding Types - name: Tags - name: Tag Groups - name: Tax Properties - name: Tax Property Templates - name: Tokens - name: Usage Records - name: Usage Summaries - name: Vacation Pay - name: Vacation Pay Settings - name: Webhooks - name: Work Assignments paths: /accounting_codes/{accounting_code}/merge: post: tags: - Accounting Codes summary: Merge accounting codes description: >- Merge manual generated accounting codes into other codes.
