Duplicate an invoice as a draft
Scopeinvoices:writeCreates a copy of an existing invoice as a new draft.
- Deprecated: use
POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/derivations, which creates the same draft. - Difference: the source invoice travels there in the body as
from_invoice_idinstead of in the path, andmodeis required. - What is copied: recipient, lines, payment method, series and observations. Number, status, dates, VeriFactu data and PDF are reset.
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
ID of the invoice to duplicate
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 PUT
Updates a draft invoice. Only invoices in `DRAFT` status can be modified. - **Deprecated:** use `PATCH /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}`, the single update verb of the canonical form. - **Difference:** only the verb changes. Both update just the fields present in the body and leave every other one untouched.
Preview the PDF of a draft invoice GET
Renders the PDF of a draft invoice on the fly, without storing it, and returns it as `application/pdf`. - **Deprecated:** use `GET /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/pdf/preview`, which behaves identically.
