# Generate an invoice now from a recurring template (deprecated) API Reference **Deprecated.** Use `POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/recurring-invoices/{recurring_invoice_id}/generate`, which behaves identically. Runs the generation of a recurring template immediately, out of its schedule. - **It brings the upcoming occurrence forward, it does not add one:** the call consumes the period that was pending, so the invoice is created now and `next_generation` advances one period. - **`next_generation` in the response:** the template's next date after this call, or `null` when the advance took the template past its `end_date` and its status is now `COMPLETED`. - **Templates with `draft_in_advance`:** when the pending period's scheduled date is today or earlier, the invoice is issued on the spot, dated today. When it is still ahead, the call creates the review draft with the scheduled date. **Retires on 9 December 2026.** See the [migration guide](https://docs.beel.es/changelog/resources-under-the-nif) for what moved where and what changes when you switch. ## POST /v1/recurring-invoices/{recurring_invoice_id}/generate **Generate an invoice now from a recurring template** **Deprecated.** Use `POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/recurring-invoices/{recurring_invoice_id}/generate`, which behaves identically.

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. | - **recurring_invoice_id** (required) in path `string`: Unique identifier (UUID) of the recurring invoice template, as returned when it is created or listed. A template of another company answers `404` with `RECURRING_NOT_FOUND`, exactly like one that does not exist. ### Responses #### 201: Invoice generated successfully **Content `application/json`:** - **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: true) - **data** (required): The payload. An object for a single resource; an object holding the named collection (and its `pagination`) for a listing. Never a bare array at this level in v1. - **meta** `ResponseMeta` - **data** `object`: No description - **invoice_id** `string` (uuid): No description - **next_generation** `string` (date): The template's next generation date **after** this call consumed the pending occurrence. `null` when the advance took the template past its `end_date` and its status is now `COMPLETED`: there is no next generation left. #### 400: `VALIDATION_ERROR` — the body parses but a value is not acceptable. `details` is a flat map from the offending property's name (in the contract's `snake_case`, nested paths joined with a dot, e.g. `recipient.address.postal_code`) to a message describing what is wrong with it, one entry per property. When the rejected value is one outside an enum's vocabulary, `details` instead follows `FieldDeserializationError` (`field`, `invalid_value`, `allowed_values`). Two more codes share this status for a value that passes the contract but does not fit where it is stored: `VALUE_TOO_LONG` (a text longer than its column holds) and `VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE` (a number outside what its column holds). Nothing was written. Other `error.code` values with this status: - `EXEMPTION_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_REGIME` — the line's `exemption_reason` cannot be declared under its `regime_key` (e.g. E2/E3 with key `01`); change the key or the reason. - `EXEMPTION_REGIME_NOT_SUPPORTED_IN_VERIFACTU` — `REGIMEN_ART_*` reasons are special regimes, not exemptions; declare the matching `regime_key` instead of an exemption reason. - `ISP_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_SURCHARGE` — a reverse-charge line (`ISP_*`) cannot carry an equivalence surcharge; remove the surcharge or the reverse-charge reason. - `LINE_TOTAL_INCONSISTENT` — the computed line amounts do not add up to its total within 1 cent; this is an internal safeguard, report it with the request id. - `OSS_REGIME_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_ISP` — regime key `17` (OSS/IOSS) cannot be combined with a reverse-charge `exemption_reason`; choose one. - `RECURRING_NOT_ACTIVE` — the template is not `ACTIVE`, so it cannot generate, skip or preview. `error.details.current_status` says its state; resume it first if it is `PAUSED`. **Content `application/json`:** - **success** (required) `boolean`: No description (example: false) - **error** (required) `ErrorDetail` - **meta** `ResponseMeta` - **type** `string` (uri): Stable URI that identifies the problem type and where the integrator will find its documentation. (example: "https://docs.beel.es/errors/INVOICE_NO_LINES") - **title** `string`: Short summary of the problem type. Stable between occurrences of the same `type`. (example: "INVOICE_NO_LINES") - **detail** `string`: Specific message for this occurrence, localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English. Matches the legacy `error.message`. (example: "The invoice must have at least one line") - **instance** `string` (uri-reference): URI that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem — typically the path of the affected resource. (example: "/v1/invoices/abc-123") **Example:** ```json { "success": false, "error": { "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR", "message": "The provided data is not valid.", "details": { "legal_name": "The field 'legal_name' cannot be empty", "recipient.address.postal_code": "Contains invalid characters." } }, "meta": { "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z", "request_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736" } } ``` #### 403: Authenticated but not allowed. Fourteen causes shared by every operation, told apart by `error.code`; an operation that adds a cause of its own names it in its `403`. You can branch on them exhaustively. - `INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE` — the credential lacks a scope the operation requires; `error.details.missing_scopes` names them as a single comma-separated string (for example `"invoices:write,customers:read"`), not as an array; `required_scopes` has the same shape and lists every scope the operation needs. Retrying will not help: mint a key that holds them. - `COMPANY_READ_ONLY` — the scope is there, but your access level over that NIF only lets you read it. - `ACCOUNT_MANAGEMENT_FORBIDDEN` — the scope is there, but your role over the account, or the management relationship you hold over it, does not cover this operation. - `ACCOUNT_NOT_ACCESSIBLE` — the account is not yours to reach, which is also the answer when it does not exist, so existence is never disclosed. - `ACTIVE_COMPANY_NOT_ACCESSIBLE` — the same, for a NIF: the company in the path, or the one named by `BeeL-Active-Company`, is not one this credential may reach — and again, this is also the answer when it does not exist. - `COMPANY_ACCESS_REVOKED` — your access to the NIF was withdrawn while the request was already in flight, so the write was rejected and nothing was recorded. Retrying will not help until the access is granted again. - `LIVE_CREDENTIAL_REQUIRED` — the operation changes the real account and the call came from a test API key (`beel_sk_test_…`). Use your live key or the dashboard. - `FEATURE_NOT_AVAILABLE` — your subscription does not include the entitlement the operation needs; `error.details.feature_code` names it. This gate runs **before** the scope gate, so for such an operation you never see `INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE` first. - `NO_ACTIVE_ACCOUNT` — the credential does not resolve to an account, so no scope can be evaluated against one. Fail-closed, not a permission that can be granted to you. - `OPERATION_REQUIRES_SESSION` — the operation is available only from the web session; no API key and no OAuth2 token can perform it, whatever scopes it holds. - `OPERATION_REQUIRES_API_KEY` — the reverse: the operation needs a scope that only an API key can hold (such as `accounts:write`), so a dashboard session never satisfies it. - `API_KEY_LIVE_NOT_AVAILABLE` — the call came with a live API key (`beel_sk_live_…`) and the account has no Live mode yet. It is never degraded to Test: use your test key, or activate Live first. - `ACCOUNT_REQUIRES_FOCUS_SWITCH` — dashboard session only: you are a member of the account in the path, but it is not the account in focus. Switch focus to it and retry. - `REQUEST_BLOCKED` — the edge security filter stopped the request before the API saw its body, usually because a text field carries something that looks like markup or a script (HTML tags, `
