# Settle Entry Late

`POST /bank-entries/{entry_id}/settle-late`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.zeno-works.ch` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://app.zeno-works.ch/bank-entries/{entry_id}/settle-late`
- Auth: none declared

Book a movement whose own period is closed into a LATER open period (Nachbuchung).

The movement itself never changes: every journal entry it produces is posted at
``posting_date`` with the movement's own date as its value date, marked "(Nachbuchung)",
with the written ``reason`` on its audit row. Refused (409/422) unless the movement's own
date really is closed, the date is later and not in the future, the target period is open,
every matched invoice is already booked, the cash is not before its invoice, and nothing
else already accounts for the money. VAT that falls in an already filed window is declared in
the next open window, never written into the filed one. Reopening the period is the
alternative when the year is not yet approved (``alternative`` names it). ``dry_run`` shows
exactly what would be booked and writes nothing. Accountant, owner or admin.

## Path parameters

- `entry_id` string, required

## Headers

- `authorization` string, nullable

## Cookies

- `access_token` string, nullable

## Request body

- LateSettleIn: Book one movement into a later open period. ``dry_run`` runs the real code, rolls it back.
  - `posting_date` string, date, required
  - `reason` string, required: The written reason (20 to 500 characters, trimmed).
  - `dry_run` boolean

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- LateSettleOut: The settle's result plus what a late booking did (or, for a dry run, would do).
