Separate a request timeout from the total retry budget, interpret Retry-After, and avoid duplicating writes when the server outcome is unknown.

Use ISO timestamp strings and decimal strings, then reconstruct the fields explicitly. A complete standard-library example shows timezone checks, precision and predictable failures.

A posting rejection is usually a period-control issue, not a document-date mistake. The journal entry date is the document issue date, while the posting date determines the posting period that the system checks. The posting period variant, not the fiscal year variant, opens and closes periods for the header and for each account type.

Use If-None-Match to revalidate cached responses and If-Match to avoid overwriting a newer representation.
