# Correct Gl Guessed Account

`PUT /companies/{company_id}/gl/journal-entries/{entry_id}/guessed-account`

## 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/companies/{company_id}/gl/journal-entries/{entry_id}/guessed-account`
- Auth: none declared

Correct the guessed expense account of a ``coding_guessed`` entry (accountant).

Swaps the guessed P&L line to ``account_code`` (full-line rebuild + version
bump + ``edited`` audit), clears the flag, and re-syncs the commercial
document so the corrected coding re-enters tier-2 history. 409 when the
entry is locked or its period is closed (no post-close correction); 422 for
a non-guessed/non-posted entry, an ambiguous multi-P&L-line coding, or an
unknown/inactive account.

## Path parameters

- `company_id` string, required
- `entry_id` string, required

## Headers

- `authorization` string, nullable

## Cookies

- `access_token` string, nullable

## Request body

- GlGuessedAccountCorrectionIn: ``PUT /gl/journal-entries/{id}/guessed-account`` body (accountant). ``account_code`` is the correct expense account's chart *code* (resolved in the entry's fiscal-year chart; must be active + postable). The correction swaps the guessed P&L line's account in place (full-line rebuild, version bump, ``edited`` audit) and clears ``coding_guessed`` — the corrected document then re-enters tier-2 coding history with the corrected account.
  - `account_code` string, required
