Derive a recurring invoice from an existing invoice
Scopeinvoices:writeCreates a recurring invoice template of this company taking its lines, recipient, series and payment data from an existing invoice, so only the recurrence has to be described.
from_invoice_id: the source invoice. It must belong to the company in the path, and one you cannot reach is reported the same way as one that does not exist. It is not modified by this call.- Recurrence:
name,day_of_monthandstart_dateare required;end_dateis optional. - VeriFactu: omitting
verifactu_enabledinherits the value of the source invoice. Sendtrueorfalseexplicitly to override that inheritance.
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
NIF (company) the operation acts on. 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 NIF you do not reach answers 403, and so does a NIF that does not exist, so the existence of a NIF in another account is never disclosed.
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 <= 255Invoice the template is derived from. It must belong to the company in the path; an invoice you cannot reach is reported the same way as one that does not exist.
uuidlength <= 255Generation cadence. Only MONTHLY is supported today; the field exists in the
request so an unsupported cadence is rejected instead of silently creating a
monthly template. Omitted, MONTHLY applies.
"MONTHLY"1 <= value <= 31Date the subscription started. A past date is accepted and stored as sent — useful
when migrating subscriptions from another system — but it never anchors generation
in the past: next_generation moves to the first upcoming day_of_month. Invoices
are never back-dated, so the missed periods are not generated.
datedateWhether the invoices this template generates enter VeriFactu.
Omitting it inherits the value from the source invoice: pointing at one of your
VeriFactu invoices and asking for it every month keeps VeriFactu. Send true or
false explicitly to override that inheritance.

}Create a recurring invoice POST
Creates a recurring invoice template under this company (NIF): the invoice data it repeats (lines, recipient, series, payment) plus the recurrence that drives it. - **Cadence:** generation runs monthly on `day_of_month`, from `start_date` until `end_date` if one is given. `frequency` only accepts `MONTHLY`. - **`start_date` in the past:** accepted and stored as sent, but it never anchors generation backwards. `next_generation` moves to the first upcoming `day_of_month`, and the missed periods are not generated. - **`preview_days`:** how many days before the emission date the invoice is created as a draft for review. `0`, the default, means immediate emission. - **VeriFactu:** omitting `verifactu_enabled` applies the company's declared preference (`apply_by_default`, resolving to `false` when the company has no VeriFactu configuration). The resolved value is frozen into the template at creation time, so changing that preference later does not alter templates that already exist.
