Following the V2 - Slight change in behavior for endpoints attempting to create a treasury Category without a direction, we're implementing additional changes to improve consistency and clarity.

Automatic direction assignment :

Effective November 3rd, Treasury Category records without a direction set will automatically have their direction updated to the default value of cash_out.

New Feature: direction attribute in Update a category endpoint

To help you prepare for this change, we've added a new direction attribute to the Update a category endpoint. This allows you to proactively manage your Treasury Categories before the automatic update occurs.

⚠️ Deprecations :

We're improving our error messaging for better clarity when the direction attribute is used incorrectly:

Dates

**From 3rd November ** the new error message will be displayed.

Affected Endpoints:

• Create a category
• Update a category

Changes:

Deprecated error message : A category belonging to an Accounting Analytics family cannot have a direction

New error message : A category belonging to a non-Treasury family cannot have a direction.

This change provides clearer guidance about which category families support the direction attribute.
