Find an invoice by external ID
Look up a single invoice by its external_id (sent in the JSON body), the integration key that maps it to a record in a third-party system (ERP/CRM/e-commerce). Distinct from the fiscal number and the id. Returns the matching invoice or 404 invoice_not_found if no invoice uses that external_id within your company.
