Preview the PDF of a draft invoice

Scopeinvoices:read

Renders the PDF of a draft invoice on the fly, without storing it and without consuming numbering, so each call reflects the latest changes. The response is application/pdf.

  • Document: shows BORRADOR in place of the invoice number and carries no VeriFactu QR code. The issuer block is taken from the company in the path.
  • Drafts only: an invoice that is not a draft answers 400 — it has a stored PDF, available at GET …/{invoice_id}/pdf.
GET
/v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/pdf/preview

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.

In: header

Path Parameters

company_idstring

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.

Derive a draft invoice from an existing one POST

Creates a draft invoice derived from an existing invoice of this company. The source invoice, named in `from_invoice_id`, is not modified. - **`mode`:** the only value is `DUPLICATE`, which copies the source into a fresh draft. Recipient, lines, payment method, series and observations are copied; number, status, dates, VeriFactu data and PDF are reset. - **Series:** the one sent in `series_id`, or the source's when omitted. It is validated against the type of the copy, which is not always the source's: the copy of a `CORRECTIVE` is born `STANDARD`. An incompatible series fails with `422 SERIES_INCOMPATIBLE_DOC_TYPE`.

Delete a draft invoice DELETE

Deletes a draft invoice of this company. The record is marked as deleted rather than removed. - **Issued invoices:** never deleted. They are voided with `POST …/{invoice_id}/void`, which leaves the fiscal trail. - **`source_proforma_id`:** when the draft came from converting a proforma, deleting it returns that proforma from `CONVERTED` to `ACTIVE`, editable and convertible again. Voiding or rectifying an issued invoice does not return its proforma; only deleting the draft does.
