Set Nominal Override
POST/api/ledger/entries/:entry/nominal-overrides
Pin a durable manual nominal-code (GL account) override on the entry: "when this entry would post to from_nominal_code_id, post to to_nominal_code_id instead." The override is keyed by the entry identity and re-applied during derivation on every rebuild, so it survives regeneration the way sync_override does — while amounts, dates and lines keep tracking the source document (it pins ONLY the account, NOT a whole-entry lock).
Any valid API token can call this endpoint — no specific scope required. Manage tokens.
Applying it rebuilds the entry through the normal pipeline: a draft regenerates with the remapped account; a posted entry reverses + re-posts a correction (the accounting-correct path). Re-editing an already-overridden line keys off the line's ORIGINALLY-DERIVED account, so send from_nominal_code_id = nominal_code_id_original ?? nominal_code_id.
Authentication: Requires Bearer token.
Request body fields:
from_nominal_code_id(required, integer, exists:nominal_codes) — the originally-derived account to remap.to_nominal_code_id(required, integer, exists:nominal_codes, different fromfrom) — the account to post to.
To revert, use DELETE on this endpoint instead. Returns 404 when the entry does not exist.
Permission: requires accounting.sync.

Response Headers
Unauthenticated — the bearer token is missing, revoked, expired, or malformed. Never retry automatically; fix the credential. See the Errors guide.
Forbidden — the token lacks a required scope, the endpoint is not available to API tokens, or the user behind the token lacks the permission. A human must adjust the token scopes or user permissions; do not retry.
Not found — no record with the given identifier (or the route does not exist). Verify the ID before retrying.
Validation failed — the body is a field → messages map (Laravel shape) or the platform envelope with a stable machine-readable code. Fix the payload and resubmit.
Rate limited — platform limit is 1,000 requests/min; individual tokens may carry lower limits. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying. See the Rate Limits guide.
