# brc_update_nominal_journal_batch

Updates an existing Nominal Journal Batch by id. Use brc_get_nominal_journal_batch first to retrieve the current batch, including timestamp and account transaction line timestamps. Do not call with confirmWrite=true until the user has reviewed the preview and explicitly confirmed the update. Requires routeToken from brc_route_request for the matching action workflow. Call brc_route_request first with the user's complete original action request. Retain the returned routeToken through lookup, preview, and confirmation, and pass the same token on the final permitted transactional tool call. Never invent a placeholder token. A routeToken is not permission to post — preview-before-posting and confirmWrite/confirmDelete still apply.
