Downstream finance systems such as NetSuite, Sage, or ERP middleware can use this metadata to map Cedar fields before requesting charge rows. This response is metadata only: it tells consumers which columns are available, how Cedar labels them, which columns are searchable, and which columns Cedar returns by default. Common export-oriented columns: | Column | Meaning for downstream systems | | --- | --- | | `chargeId` | Stable Cedar charge identifier for reconciliation, upserts, or idempotent imports. | | `customerLocationAccountNumber` | Customer location account number often used to map a charge into an external account or business unit. | | `invoice` | Invoice number or sequence used to group already-invoiced charges. | | `accountingPeriod` | Cedar accounting period label that can be used for period-close exports or batching. | | `billingType` | High-level charge category such as storage, demurrage, switching, or ISS shipment. | | `serviceType` | Service-specific classification that can help downstream mapping rules route charges to the right workflow. | | `glCode` | General ledger code used for financial posting and account mapping. | | `rateTableEntry` / `rateDescription` | Human-readable pricing fields that explain why the amount was calculated. | | `adjustment_total` | Net difference between the original amount and the final adjusted amount. | The response example below shows a representative subset of these columns. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /user-docs/api-reference/charge.swagger.json get /t/v1/charges-table-def openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: protobuf/arms/charge.proto version: version not set servers: - description: Production (US) url: https://api-lg-k-h1.arms.cedarai.com - description: Production (EU) url: https://api-lg-k-h1.arms.cedarai.se security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] AssumeUserAuth: [] tags: - name: ChargeService paths: /t/v1/charges-table-def: get: tags: - ChargeService summary: Get Charges Table Definition description: >- Returns the available charges export columns and default columns.
