Create a draft invoice from a payment event
Scopepayment-connections:writeBuilds a draft invoice from a payment event that could not be invoiced automatically, applying the same recipient resolution and tax treatment the automatic flow would have applied, under the NIF in the path.
- Draft only: the document is not issued, not numbered against the series and not emailed. Issue it yourself once it is right.
- Eligible events: only those that produced no invoice can produce a draft; otherwise
the request returns
400. - Rejected documents: if invoicing rules reject the resulting document the request
returns
422and no draft is created.
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
Unique identifier (UUID) of the company the events belong to — 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.
uuidUnique identifier (UUID) of the payment connection the operation acts on, as returned by GET /v1/companies/{company_id}/payment-connections. A NIF can hold several connections of the same provider, so the provider slug alone does not name one. A connection of another NIF answers 404, exactly like one that does not exist.
uuidIdentifier of the payment event, as returned by the list operation.
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) - 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. |

}Retry a payment event of a company's connection POST
Reprocesses a payment event whose automatic invoicing did not complete, applying the configuration of the NIF as it stands now. Use it after fixing what caused the failure, for example a missing invoice series. - **`retry_available`:** only events where it is `true` can be retried. Read it instead of deriving retryability from `status` yourself; anything else returns `400`. - **Limit:** the status and the skip reason must admit reprocessing, and the event must still be under the limit of 3 retries (`retry_count`). A retry that fails for a transient cause outside the event (provider outage, timeout) does not count towards the limit.
Mark a payment event as manually resolved POST
Marks a payment event as resolved outside BeeL, for example when the invoice was issued through another tool or the situation was otherwise handled by hand. The event leaves the events that need action without generating any invoice. The operation applies to the whole payment the event belongs to. Its scope is every active event of the connection that shares the payment identity of the event named in the request: when the event carries a payment identifier (`external_payment_id`), every event with that same identifier, whatever its kind (the sale, its failed attempts, its refunds); otherwise, when it carries a source object (`source_object_id`, such as a credit note or a dispute), every event with that same source object; otherwise, the event alone. Within that scope, the events that need action (the same criterion as the `needs_action` filter) and are eligible are resolved together, in a single transaction; a failed event still pending automatic retry is resolved as well, so that no retry is attempted for a payment the caller has declared handled elsewhere. Events that do not need action — for instance an event still in `RECEIVED` state that has not stalled — remain unchanged. The response carries the event named in the request. - **Eligible events:** only events in `FAILED`, `SKIPPED` or `RECEIVED` can be resolved; if the event named in the request is not eligible, the request returns `400`. - **Terminal:** a resolved event cannot be retried afterwards.
