Journals & prefixes

Fund-account journals are auto-created with a mode prefix:

• Production → PHWK…
• Sandbox → PSND…

You may set a dedicated Bills Journal and Receipts Journal; otherwise the company's default purchase journal is used.

Rate limiting

API calls are rate-limited client-side to 15 requests/second with automatic back-off, so large syncs are throttled gracefully rather than rejected.
