Unlike `custom_fields` — an ordered list of typed `{field, value}` pairs with display semantics, present on the six document resources — `metadata` is an unordered map for opaque integration data; a document may carry both. The master resources (Client, Supplier) have no `custom_fields`, so their `metadata` doubles as the custom-fields store. **Reserved keys (read-only).** When the system auto-issues an invoice from a payment correlation (Stripe/GoCardless/MONEI), it writes `stripe_subscription_id`, `stripe_invoice_id`, `billing_reason`, `period_start` and `period_end` into that invoice metadata automatically. Do not set or overwrite them by hand — the platform owns them and a manual value may be replaced when the correlation runs. - `accumulate_347` boolean - `external_id` string, nullable - `latitude` number, nullable - `longitude` number, nullable - `customer_profile` object - `default_price_list_uuid` string, uuid, nullable: Public identifier (UUID v7) of an active price list of your company applied by default to this customer, or `null`. - `discount` number, nullable - `vat_rate` number, nullable - `retention_rate` number, nullable - `surcharge_subject` boolean - `operation_regime` 'general' | 'intracomunitaria' | 'importacion_exportacion' | 'isp' | 'null', nullable - `payment_method` 'bank_transfer' | 'direct_debit' | 'sepa_direct_debit' | 'cash' | 'credit_card' | 'check' | 'paypal' | 'bizum' | 'other' | 'null', nullable - `payment_terms_days` integer, nullable: Payment term in days (0-365). For a new contact, omitted or null means 30 days; an explicit 0 means immediate payment. For an existing contact upsert, an omitted profile is preserved and a supplied profile replaces its defaults. - `dir3_accounting_office` string, nullable - `dir3_managing_body` string, nullable - `dir3_processing_unit` string, nullable - `supplier_profile` object - `default_tax_uuid` string, uuid, nullable - `discount` number, nullable - `vat_rate` number, nullable - `retention_rate` number, nullable - `surcharge_subject` boolean - `operation_regime` 'general' | 'intracomunitaria' | 'importacion_exportacion' | 'isp' | 'null', nullable - `payment_method` 'bank_transfer' | 'direct_debit' | 'sepa_direct_debit' | 'cash' | 'credit_card' | 'check' | 'paypal' | 'bizum' | 'other' | 'null', nullable - `payment_terms_days` integer, nullable: Payment term in days (0-365). For a new contact, omitted or null means 30 days; an explicit 0 means immediate payment.

In validate-only mode (`dry_run=true`) `results[]` carries the per-row classification `{index, status, errors[], warnings[]}` and nothing is persisted; in create mode (`dry_run=false`) only valid rows are created and `failures[]` carries the rows that were not created (identified by `index`). `total = successful + failed`. - `dry_run` boolean, required: Whether the operation ran in validate-only mode (no invoice was created). - `total` integer, required: Number of rows processed (`successful + failed`). - `successful` integer, required: Number of rows that validated successfully (`dry_run=true`) or were created (`dry_run=false`). - `failed` integer, required: Number of rows that were invalid or could not be created. Equals `failures` length in create mode. - `results` object[], required: Per-row classification of validate-only mode (`dry_run=true`). Empty in create mode. - `index` integer, required: 0-based position of the row within the batch. - `status` string, required: Row status: `valid` (would be created without error) or `invalid` (has blocking errors). - `errors` FieldIssue[], required: Per-field blocking issues of the row. Empty when the row is valid. - `param` string, nullable, required: Name of the affected field, or `null` when the issue is not tied to a specific field. - `code` string, required: Machine-readable code for the field issue (stable across languages). - `message` string, required: Human-readable description of the issue, in Spanish. - `warnings` FieldIssue[], required: Per-field non-blocking warnings of the row (e.g. recipient not found in the AEAT census). Empty when there are none. - `param` string, nullable, required: Name of the affected field, or `null` when the issue is not tied to a specific field. - `code` string, required: Machine-readable code for the field issue (stable across languages). - `message` string, required: Human-readable description of the issue, in Spanish. - `failures` object[], required: Rows that could not be created (create mode, `dry_run=false`). Each item carries the 0-based `index`, an `error_code`, a Spanish `error_message` and the per-field `errors[]`. Empty in validate-only mode. - `index` integer, required: 0-based position of the row within the batch. - `error_code` string, required: Machine-readable error code from the v1 error catalog (stable across languages). - `error_message` string, required: Human-readable reason for the failure, in Spanish. - `errors` FieldIssue[]: Per-field blocking issues that made the row invalid. - `param` string, nullable, required: Name of the affected field, or `null` when the issue is not tied to a specific field. - `code` string, required: Machine-readable code for the field issue (stable across languages). - `message` string, required: Human-readable description of the issue, in Spanish. ## Other responses - `400`: The request is syntactically malformed — e.g. an unknown query parameter, an integer parameter with non-numeric value, or a value outside the documented range. `parameter_unknown` with `subcode` `retired_active_profile_header`: the retired `X-Active-Profile` header was sent; the company goes in the path. `parameter_invalid_format` on `Factuarea-Version`: the header is not a `YYYY-MM-DD` date. `unsupported_api_version`: the `Factuarea-Version` date is not a supported version. - `401`: Missing or invalid API key. - `403`: The request is authenticated but not allowed: the API key lacks the required scope (`insufficient_scope`), the plan does not include the public API or this feature (`addon_not_active`, `feature_not_available_in_plan`), or the module is not available with a test key (`module_not_available_in_sandbox`). - `404`: The requested resource does not exist or belongs to another company. `profile_not_found`: the company in the path does not exist, is not in the API key scope or belongs to the other environment (live or test). - `409`: The request conflicts with data that already exists or with a request running at the same time. `resource_conflict`: another request was reserving identifiers for the same kind of record at that moment and this one could not complete its reservation. Nothing was written; send the request again after a few seconds. - `422`: Validation failed. The `error.param` field identifies which input is invalid. - `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the duration in `Retry-After`. - `500`: Unexpected server error. --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/factuarea/apis/factuarea-public-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/factuarea/apis/factuarea-public-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/factuarea/apis/factuarea-public-api/revisions/718e77934422?raw)
