`investigations.run`

Run the receipt investigator now for one transaction or receipt (entryId) with an idempotencyKey: it gathers what Oatmilk knows, asks the investigator for a judgement, links a receipt charged to a hotel room to the hotel's charge, and asks a person one plain question when it can't tell. Returns the run id to follow. Administrator access required.

Fields

entryIdstring (ID)Required
The ID of an accounting entry, from entries.list or attention.mine.
