CompanyInvoices

Update an invoice

Updates only the fields present in the body, leaving every other field of the invoice as it is.

  • Status: only an invoice in DRAFT or SCHEDULED, or a proforma in ACTIVE, can be modified; any other status answers 422 with STATUS_NOT_MODIFIABLE. An issued one is amended with a corrective invoice (POST …/{invoice_id}/corrective) or voided.
  • Series: changing series_id never moves the invoice to another NIF — a series of another company is not visible from here.

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

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.

StatusCodeWhen
400INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEYThe key breaks the format rules above.
409IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSINGThe first request is still in flight. Wait for the Retry-After seconds (2) and retry with the same key.
409IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCHThe key was already used with a different body. Use a new key.

Request body

type'STANDARD' | 'CORRECTIVE' | 'SIMPLIFIED' | 'PROFORMA'
  • STANDARD: Standard invoice
  • CORRECTIVE: Corrects or cancels a previous invoice
  • SIMPLIFIED: Simplified invoice (ticket), for a recipient that is not identified. BeeL. requires a STANDARD invoice when the recipient is identified, at any amount: a SIMPLIFIED invoice whose recipient carries an nif or alternative_id is rejected with SIMPLIFIED_INVOICE_FORBIDS_IDENTIFIED_RECIPIENT. The only amount BeeL enforces is a cap of 3,000€ VAT included (SIMPLIFIED_INVOICE_EXCEEDS_LEGAL_LIMIT). The general limit of RD 1619/2012 is 400€ (art. 4.1.a); up to 3,000€ applies only to the activities listed in art. 4.2. BeeL does not check which activity the issuer carries out.
  • PROFORMA: Commercial document (formal quote) with no fiscal validity. Never enters VeriFactu (no QR, no AEAT submission): verifactu.enabled is always false, whatever the company's regime. Requires full recipient data, like STANDARD. Cannot be corrective nor reference a rectified invoice.
series_idstring uuid

Universally Unique Identifier (UUID v4)

operation_datestring date nullable

Date when the operation occurred. Must be today or a past date, and not more than twenty years before today (AEAT does not accept an older one): an older date answers 422 OPERATION_DATE_TOO_OLD, on update and again on issue. Set to null to clear (operation date = issue date). If not provided, keeps the existing value.

due_datestring date nullable

New due date. Must be the same as or after issue_date. Set to null to clear the due date. If not provided, keeps the existing value.

valid_untilstring date nullable

Offer validity date. Only rendered on PROFORMA invoices; on any other invoice type the field is inert. Purely informational. Set to null to clear it. If not provided, keeps the existing value.
