Hello, Ben and Bryan! Is it possible from your side to correct BudgetOrderService somehow, so we could get the correct balance via API?
I know you have plans to create a new parameter with balance, I saw it several times here in the forum. Maybe it would be easier to adjust the current structure to something more accurate? I don't really want to give up with this task, cause 12-16% is not a slight difference. I don't know how to explain it to our clients. Like ... the company with the world's best search engine cannot give the correct data via API? I mean.. You are the synonym of high quality and best technologies, aren't you? вторник, 1 сентября 2020 г. в 16:02:14 UTC+3, Inna Keegan: > Hello, Ben > > Thanks for jumping to me. > > Well, I got this formula from two ones.
