Organization ID
In Zoho Expense, your business is termed as an organization. If you have multiple business, you need to setup an individual organization for each of them. Each organization is an independent Zoho Expense Organization with its own organization ID, base currency, time zone, language, customers, reports, etc.
The Url parameter organization_id along with the organization ID should be sent in with every API request to identify the organization.
The organization_id can be obtained from the GET /organizations API’s JSON response.
$ curl -X GET 'https://www.zohoapis.com/expense/v1/organizations' \
-H 'Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken 6e80xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx8a80'
