These APIs handle key financial activities such as creating instructions, managing postings, and tracking fund movements between accounts and wallets. By providing structured and auditable transaction workflows, these APIs ensure accuracy, compliance, and efficiency in financial operations. *** #### **1. Instruction Management** Instructions are high-level transaction requests that group multiple financial activities into a single operation. They define the execution order and dependencies of multiple postings. For example, a payroll instruction may bundle salary payments for multiple employees in a single request. [Check out the Instruction Management APIs here.](/xyb-platform-1/xyb-ledger/api-reference-guides/transaction-management-apis/instruction-management-apis.md) *** #### **2. Movement Tracking** Movements track the actual flow of funds between accounts, wallets, or external systems. They ensure transparency in financial transactions and help detect discrepancies. For example, a company tracking refunds can use movement data to verify if funds were correctly returned to customer wallets.

Posting Management** Postings represent individual transaction entries that update account balances. Each posting affects at least two accounts (debit and credit) and records the movement of funds. For instance, a customer deposit results in a debit from their bank and a credit to their wallet balance.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.xyb.co/xyb-platform-1/xyb-ledger/api-reference-guides/transaction-management-apis.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
