Convert a proforma into an invoice
Scopeinvoices:writeConverts an accepted proforma into a real invoice.
- Deprecated: use
POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/convert-to-invoice, which behaves identically. - Result: the proforma moves to the terminal status
CONVERTEDand a newSTANDARDinvoice is created inDRAFT. - Issuing:
issue: truenumbers and issues that new invoice in the same call.
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
Proforma ID to convert
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. |
^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$length <= 255If true, emit the resulting invoice atomically in the same act
(assigns a fiscal number and runs the quota/ledger/VeriFactu→PDF flow).
If false or omitted, the invoice is left in DRAFT.
falseWhether the resulting invoice generates VeriFactu information.
If omitted, the company's declared preference applies (the "apply VeriFactu by
default" setting, apply_by_default) — the same resolution used when creating an
invoice. Send the field explicitly (true or false) to override it.
The proforma itself never carries VeriFactu, so it has no preference to pass on: the invoice born from the conversion is a new fiscal document and follows the company's policy, exactly like one created from scratch.
This matters most with issue: true, where there is no draft left to edit before
the invoice reaches AEAT.

}Convert a proforma into an invoice POST
Converts an accepted proforma of this company into a real invoice. The new invoice is created as a `STANDARD` draft linked back through `source_proforma_id`. - **What converts:** only proformas in status `ACTIVE`. One shown as `EXPIRED` is still `ACTIVE` underneath and converts too. - **The proforma:** preserved as the record of what the customer accepted — it keeps its `PRO-...` number and PDF and moves to the terminal status `CONVERTED`. - **`issue`:** with `true` the new invoice is numbered and issued in the same atomic call. If issuing fails nothing is created and the proforma stays `ACTIVE`. - **Errors:** `422 CONVERSION_REQUIRES_PROFORMA` when the document is not a proforma, `422 PROFORMA_NOT_CONVERTIBLE` when it is not `ACTIVE`, and `409 PROFORMA_ALREADY_CONVERTED` when it has already been converted — a second call never creates a second invoice.
Create a customer for a company POST
Creates a new customer under this company (NIF). - **`Idempotency-Key`:** it identifies the same operation on the deprecated flat route, so a retry that switches route replays instead of creating twice.
