Invoices

Issue an invoice

Scopeinvoices:write

Finalizes a draft invoice: assigns its definitive number from the configured series and makes it immutable. Irreversible.

POST
/v1/invoices/{invoice_id}/issue

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

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.

Path Parameters

invoice_idstring

Invoice ID

Formatuuid

Query Parameters

wait_for_pdf?boolean

If true, waits for PDF generation and returns the URL in the response. Adds ~1-2s latency but guarantees PDF is immediately available. If false (default), PDF is generated asynchronously.

Defaultfalse
attach_source_invoices?boolean

Only applies when the invoice has automatic email sending enabled. If true, the email sent after issuing also attaches a ZIP (suplidos_<invoice-number>.zip) with the PDFs of the source invoices referenced by the invoice's SUPLIDO consolidation lines. Access to sources owned by managed accounts is re-checked with the same rules as issuing, and the request fails synchronously with an actionable error — never a partial ZIP — if the invoice has no consolidation sources (ATTACH_SOURCE_INVOICES_NO_SOURCES), a source is not reachable (ATTACH_SOURCE_INVOICE_UNAVAILABLE) or a source has no generated PDF (ATTACH_SOURCE_PDF_MISSING).

Defaultfalse

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?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)
  • 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.

StatusCodeWhen
400INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEYThe key breaks the format rules above.
409IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSINGThe first request is still in flight. Wait and retry with the same key.
409IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCHThe key was already used with a different body. Use a new key.

Delete an invoice DELETE

Deletes a draft invoice. The record is marked as deleted rather than removed. - **Deprecated:** use `DELETE /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}`, which behaves identically. - **Proformas:** if the draft came from converting a proforma, deleting it returns that proforma to `ACTIVE`.

Issue several draft invoices POST

Issues several draft invoices at once, each one assigned its definitive number. - **Deprecated:** use `POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/batches` with `operation: ISSUE`, which issues the same drafts. - **Limits:** up to 50 invoices per call. - **Not atomic:** each invoice is issued in its own transaction, and since issuing is irreversible, the ones already issued stay issued if a later one fails.
