Each account carries one figure per entity in scope, the `subtotal` of those entities' own books, the intercompany `elimination` the selection is entitled to, and their `total`. Without a company entity filter the scope is every entity of the company, including inactive ones. An elimination between two entities applies only when both are in scope; one belonging to the group as a whole applies only when the scope covers the whole company. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi-public.json get /v1/general-ledger-summary openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: Light API version: 1.0.0 servers: [] security: - apiKeyAuth: [] - bearerAuth: [] paths: /v1/general-ledger-summary: get: tags: - v1 - General Ledger Summary summary: Get general ledger summary description: >- Returns the opening balance, net movement and closing balance of every account over a date range.
