# Remove the scheduling of an invoice API Reference

Removes the scheduling of an invoice, returning it to a plain draft. Idempotent: an invoice
that is not scheduled answers `204` all the same. Unlike the `PUT`, it does not require the
`scheduled_invoices` feature.

**Remove the scheduling of an invoice**

Removes the scheduling of an invoice, returning it to a plain draft. Idempotent: an invoice
that is not scheduled answers `204` all the same. Unlike the `PUT`, it does not require the
`scheduled_invoices` feature.

### Authentication

Accepts any of:

- `ApiKeyAuth` (HTTP bearer, token format `beel_sk_*`)

### Parameters

- **company_id** (required) in path `string`: Unique identifier (UUID) of the company the operation acts on — its identifier, not its NIF. 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 company you do not reach answers `403`, and so does a company that does not exist, so the existence of a company in another account is never disclosed.
- **invoice_id** (required) in path: Invoice ID
- **Idempotency-Key** (optional) in header `string`: 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) - Retrying with the same key replays the first response when it was a success (2xx) or a server error (5xx): same status and body, plus the header `Idempotency-Replay: true`. After a 5xx, check whether the operation took effect before retrying with a **new** key - A 4xx is not stored: the key is released, so the corrected request can reuse it - Stored responses 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 for the `Retry-After` seconds (2) and retry with the same key. | | `409` | `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCH` | The key was already used with a **different** body. Use a new key. |

### Responses

#### 204: The invoice is not scheduled

#### 400: The invoice is already issued, so there is no scheduling to remove (`error.code`
`INVOICE_STATUS_NOT_SCHEDULABLE`).


**Content `application/json`:**

- **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false)
- **error** (required) `ErrorDetail`
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`
- **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line")
- **instance** `string` (uri-reference): URI that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem — typically the path of the affected resource. (example: "/v1/invoices/abc-123")

#### 401: Missing or invalid authentication. Like every other error, `message`/`detail` is
localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English when the
header is missing or asks for none of those.


**Content `application/json`:**

- **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false)
- **error** (required) `ErrorDetail`
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`
- **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line")

**Example:**

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
    "message": "Authentication is required to access this resource"
  },
  "meta": {
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z",
    "request_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736"
  }
}
```

#### 403: Your account does not own or manage this company, or does not hold the required
access over it. A NIF that does not exist answers the same way.


**Content `application/json`:**

- **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false)
- **error** (required) `ErrorDetail`
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`
- **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line")
- **instance** `string` (uri-reference): URI that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem — typically the path of the affected resource. (example: "/v1/invoices/abc-123")

#### 404: The resource addressed by the path does not exist, or is not one this credential can see —
the two are answered identically, so existence is never disclosed. `error.code` names the
kind of resource that was missing, so a client can tell which of several ids in a path
failed to resolve:

- `INVOICE_NOT_FOUND` — the `{invoice_id}` (invoices, proformas and their sub-resources).
- `RECURRING_NOT_FOUND` — the `{recurring_invoice_id}`.
- `CLIENT_NOT_FOUND` — the `{customer_id}`.
- `INVOICE_CLIENT_NOT_FOUND` — the `customer_id` referenced by an invoice body does not
  resolve to a customer of the issuing company.
- `PRODUCT_NOT_FOUND` — the `{product_id}`.
- `SERIES_NOT_FOUND` — the `{series_id}`.
- `WEBHOOK_SUBSCRIPTION_NOT_FOUND`, `DELIVERY_LOG_NOT_FOUND` — the `{webhook_id}` and the
  `{delivery_id}`.
- `NOT_FOUND` — the generic fallback, for the few resources that carry no code of their own.

Some resources declare a more specific `404` response of their own (`CONNECTION_NOT_FOUND`,
`MEMBER_NOT_FOUND`, `GRANT_NOT_FOUND`, `INVITATION_NOT_FOUND`, `REQUEST_LOG_NOT_FOUND`); it
is documented on the operation.

A `404` with `ENDPOINT_NOT_FOUND` is a different answer: the **path itself** does not exist
in this API (a typo in the route, or a resource that was never here). It says nothing about
any resource. When the path exists but not with that method, the answer is `405`, not `404`.

#### default: Any status code the operation does not list above. Every operation declares it, so a
generated client always has a branch to fall into and never loses the cause of a failure
it did not anticipate.

This is where the transport-level answers land — `405`, `406`, `415` and `429` — together
with any status a future version of the API starts returning. All of them carry the same
error envelope as the codes listed explicitly, so `error.code` is what tells them apart:
switching on the status code alone is not enough. See «Transport-level errors» in the
API description for when each one is produced.

A `502` carrying `EXTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR` also lands here: an outbound integration the
operation depends on failed or did not answer in time. It is a transient condition — retry
with the same `Idempotency-Key` where the operation accepts one.

One exception to the envelope: a failure of the network edge that never reaches the
application (`502`, `503`, `504`, `524`) is generated by Cloudflare and its body is not
BeeL's — it may not even be JSON. Treat those as "no answer", and retry.

# Related Schema Definitions

## ErrorResponse

Error response shared by all BeeL. APIs.

The payload carries **two contracts at once** (additive, non-breaking):

- **Legacy** (`success`, `error.{code,message,details}`, `meta`) — kept
  intact for existing consumers.
- **RFC 9457** (`type`, `title`, `detail`, `instance`) — new fields
  for integrators following Problem Details for HTTP APIs. The
  `type` URI is the stable, shareable link to the error's
  documentation page (e.g. `https://docs.beel.es/errors/{code}`).

Future migration: the legacy fields will be deprecated via
`Deprecation`/`Sunset` headers after a sufficient adoption window,
and the response Content-Type will move to
`application/problem+json`.

- **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false)
- **error** (required) `ErrorDetail`
- **meta** `ResponseMeta`
- **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES")
- **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line")
- **instance** `string` (uri-reference): URI that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem — typically the path of the affected resource. (example: "/v1/invoices/abc-123")

## ErrorDetail

- **code** (required) `string`: No description (example: "VALIDATION_ERROR")
- **message** (required) `string`: No description (example: "The provided data is not valid")
- **details** `object`: No description (example: {"field":"specific error message"})

## ResponseMeta

- **timestamp** `string` (date-time): No description (example: "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z")
- **request_id** `string`: No description (example: "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736")
