Mark a series as default
Scopeseries:writeMarks an invoice series as the default of its document type for this company (NIF), and unmarks the previous one.
- One per type: only one series can be the default per company and document type.
- Must be active: an inactive series is rejected with
400. - Idempotent: repeating the call changes nothing.
Keys are prefixed beel_sk_, and each one carries the scopes it was created with: a key
short of the scope an operation needs is answered 403. The scope an operation requires
is shown next to its title, and the full catalogue lives in the Scopes reference.
Keys are created from the BeeL dashboard. They are secret credentials: do not share them or commit them to source control.
In: header
Path Parameters
NIF (company) the operation acts on. It is the only source of context: the account that owns it is derived from it, and the BeeL-Active-Company header plays no part. A NIF you do not reach answers 403, and so does a NIF that does not exist, so the existence of a NIF in another account is never disclosed.
uuidSeries ID to mark as default
uuidHeader Parameters
Idempotency key to prevent duplicates in sensitive operations.
- Any unique client-generated string (e.g. an order id). A UUID also works but is not required
- Allowed characters: letters, digits,
_and-(max 255 chars) - If the same key is sent twice, the result of the first operation is returned
- Keys expire 24 hours after processing
The key is scoped per user and environment, and bound to the request body, so retrying after a network timeout replays the stored response instead of repeating the operation.
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
400 | INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY | The key breaks the format rules above. |
409 | IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSING | The first request is still in flight. Wait and retry with the same key. |
409 | IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCH | The key was already used with a different body. Use a new key. |

}Update an invoice series PATCH
Updates only the fields present in the body, leaving every other field of the series as it is. - **Clearing a field:** a field sent as `null` is cleared, which only `description` supports. - **Numbering fields:** `code`, `format`, `counter_reset` and `initial_number` are rejected once the series has issued invoices (`numbering_locked` is `true`). - **`default_series`:** it cannot be used to clear the default. Sending `false` for the series that currently is the default answers `DEFAULT_CANNOT_BE_UNMARKED`, because it would leave the document type with active series and no default, and issuing without an explicit `series_id` would then fail with `SERIES_DEFAULT_NOT_FOUND`. Hand the default over with `PUT /v1/companies/{company_id}/series/{series_id}/default` on the new series, which unmarks the previous one. Sending `false` for a series that is not the default is a no-op.
Delete an invoice series DELETE
Soft-deletes an invoice series, deactivating it first if it is active. - **The code is not released:** it stays taken after the deletion because it identifies the invoices already issued under it, so recreating a series with the same code answers `409 SERIES_CODE_DUPLICATED`. - **Default series:** it cannot be deleted while another active series of the same document type exists — promote that other one first. If it is the only series of its type it is deleted and the type is left with none, a valid state in which issuing without an explicit `series_id` answers `SERIES_DEFAULT_NOT_FOUND`.
