Request body

testmodeboolean nullable

Whether the entity was created in test mode or live mode. This field does not update the mode of the entity.

Most API credentials are specifically created for either live mode or test mode, in which case this parameter must not be sent. For organization-level credentials such as OAuth access tokens, you can enable test mode by setting testmode to true.

statusstring

The status for the invoice to end up in.

Dependent parameters: paymentDetails for paid, emailDetails for issued and paid.

To cancel a paid invoice, first set the status to payment-reversed, then set it to cancelled.

Possible values: draft issued paid cancelled payment-reversed

memostring nullable

A free-form memo you can set on the invoice, and will be shown on the invoice PDF.

paymentTermstring nullable

The payment term to be set on the invoice.

Possible values: 7 days 14 days 30 days 45 days 60 days 90 days 120 days (default: 30 days)

recipientIdentifierstring

An identifier tied to the recipient data. This should be a unique value based on data your system contains, so that both you and us know who we're referring to. It is a value you provide to us so that recipient management is not required to send a first invoice to a recipient.

isEInvoiceboolean

This indicates whether the invoice is an e-invoice. The default value is false and can't be changed after the invoice has been issued. When emailDetails is provided, an additional email is sent to the recipient.

E-invoicing is only available for merchants based in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, and only when the recipient is also located in one of these countries.

When set to true, the invoice will be delivered via the Peppol network. In this case, the organizationNumber or vatNumber provided must match the identifier the recipient is actually registered with on Peppol, otherwise delivery will fail. Note: for recipients in Germany, the vatNumber is the required identifier for Peppol registration.
