Issue an invoice
Finalizes a draft invoice: assigns its definitive number from the configured series and makes it immutable. Irreversible.
- Deprecated: use POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/issue, which behaves identically.
- PDF: the PDF is generated asynchronously unless wait_for_pdf is true, which waits for it and returns its URL.
Retires on 9 December 2026. See the migration guide for what moved where and what changes when you switch.
Request
- Base URL: https://app.beel.es/api
- URL: https://app.beel.es/api/v1/invoices/{invoice_id}/issue
- Auth: HTTP bearer
Path parameters
Universally Unique Identifier (UUID v4)
Invoice ID
Query parameters
If true, waits for PDF generation and returns the URL in the response. Adds ~1-2s latency but guarantees PDF is immediately available. If false (default), PDF is generated asynchronously.
Only applies when the invoice has automatic email sending enabled. If true, the email sent after issuing also attaches a ZIP (suplidos_<invoice-number>.zip) with the PDFs of the source invoices referenced by the invoice's SUPLIDO consolidation lines. Access to sources owned by managed accounts is re-checked with the same rules as issuing, and the request fails synchronously with an actionable error — never a partial ZIP — if the invoice has no consolidation sources (ATTACH_SOURCE_INVOICES_NO_SOURCES), a source is not reachable (ATTACH_SOURCE_INVOICE_UNAVAILABLE) or a source has no generated PDF (ATTACH_SOURCE_PDF_MISSING).
Headers
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. |
