02-url-journal-reference

Updated on April 21, 2026

Every screen in Bizuno has a canonical URL. Once you know the pattern, you can deep-link to any screen — a customer, a specific invoice, a report — without clicking through the menus. This article documents the URL structure, the journal ID numbers, and the module route prefixes you’ll encounter.

The URL anatomy #

Every Bizuno URL follows this shape:

https://yourdomain.com/?bizRt=<module>/<controller>/<action>&<param>=<value>
  • bizRt is the route.
  • module is the top-level feature (e.g., contacts, inventory, phreebooks).
  • controller is the specific screen class (usually main).
  • action is what to do (manager = list, edit = edit form).
  • Additional parameters (jID, rID, mgr, gID) narrow the screen further.

Common parameters #

ParameterMeaning
jIDJournal ID — which journal/transaction type.
rIDRecord ID — the numeric PK for the record you’re viewing.
mgrManager flag: 0 = list, 1 = edit/new.
gIDGroup ID (used by PhreeForm to filter reports by module).
typeSub-type (e.g., customer type c vs. vendor type v).

Journal ID (jID) reference #

The journal ID identifies which transaction type a URL refers to. These are stable across Bizuno installs.

jIDJournalWhat it is
2General JournalManual journal entries.
3Sales QuoteCustomer quote.
4Purchase OrderPO to a vendor.
6Purchases (Bill)Vendor bill.
7Vendor Credit MemoCredit from a vendor.
9Vendor ReceiveReceiving against a PO.
10Sales OrderConfirmed customer order.
12Sales (Invoice)Customer invoice.
13Credit MemoCustomer credit.
14AssemblyBuild or un-build an assembly item.
15Store TransferMove stock between locations.
16Inventory AdjustmentQuantity / cost change.
17Vendor RefundRefund received from vendor.
18Cash ReceiptCustomer payment.
19DepositBundled undeposited funds to bank.
20Pay BillsPayment run (check or ACH).
21Return Merchandise AuthorizationRMA.
22Customer RefundRefund issued to customer.

Important: Journal IDs in this table are the current Bizuno defaults. Custom Bizuno builds can differ. If a URL doesn’t resolve on your install, check the module’s menu item properties for the actual jID your build uses.

Module / route prefix reference #

PrefixScope
bizuno/main/Home, user profile, dashboards.
bizuno/admin/Admin screens (company, users, roles, modules, settings, integrations).

phreebooks/main/Transactions — journal entries, sales docs, purchase docs, banking.

PhreeForm group IDs (gID) #

The Reports screen for each module is a PhreeForm list filtered by group ID:

gIDGroup
custCustomer / Sales reports.
vendVendor / Purchasing reports.
invInventory reports.
bnkBanking reports.
glGeneral Ledger / financial reports.
qltQuality reports.

Practical URL examples #

  • Customer list: ?bizRt=contacts/main/manager&type=c
  • Edit customer with ID 42: ?bizRt=contacts/main/edit&rID=42&type=c
  • New vendor: ?bizRt=contacts/main/edit&type=v&rID=0
  • Inventory item list: ?bizRt=inventory/main/manager
  • New sales invoice: ?bizRt=phreebooks/main/manager&jID=12&mgr=1
  • Open a specific sales invoice with ID 1001: ?bizRt=phreebooks/main/edit&jID=12&rID=1001
  • Trial Balance report list: ?bizRt=phreeform/main/manager&gID=gl
  • Fiscal periods: ?bizRt=phreebooks/periods/manager
  • Admin Users: ?bizRt=bizuno/admin/users
  • Scheduled tasks: ?bizRt=bizuno/tools/scheduler

Deep-linking for bookmarks #

Bookmark the URLs you use daily:

  • A/R Aging report parameter page.
  • Bank Balances widget.
  • New Sales Invoice.
  • Open POs list.
  • Chart of Accounts.

Dev / embed URLs #

For PhreeForm reports that you want to embed in your WordPress dashboard, use the report’s direct URL with the output parameter. See the Bizuno developer documentation on bizuno.com for the exact pattern; policies on authentication vary per install.

Tips for Ridgeline Cycles #

  • Save this article as a bookmark — when you’re deep-linking from an email or a spreadsheet, the lookup is quick.
  • When you open an unfamiliar screen in Bizuno and want to understand what you’re looking at, peek at the URL — the jID and module prefix tell you the record type.
  • Report tickets (to a developer or support) become clearer with the URL attached. “Error on ?bizRt=phreebooks/main/edit&jID=12&rID=1001” is diagnosable; “error on the invoice screen” isn’t.
