# Update quote metadata

`PATCH /v1/quotes/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.officina.it`
- URL: `https://api.officina.it/v1/quotes/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Three-state PATCH semantics (omitted = unchanged, `null` =
clear, value = set). Status transitions go through
`POST /v1/quotes/{id}/transitions`, not PATCH.

Fields not listed in `QuotePatchRequest` are intentionally
NOT patchable: `id`, `company_id`, `created_by`,
`seq_number`, `status`, `customer_id`, `vehicle_id`, all
totals, all timestamps, `worksheet_id`, `line_items`.

Foreign-key references in the body (`work_category_id`) must
resolve to resources owned by the authenticated user's company.
Unreachable refs return 422 `parameter_invalid` pointing at the
offending field.

## Request body

- QuotePatchRequest: Body of `PATCH /v1/quotes/{id}`. Three-state semantics (omitted = leave unchanged, explicit null = clear, concrete value = set). `status`, `seq_number`, `customer_id`, `vehicle_id`, totals, `worksheet_id`, and timestamps are NOT patchable.
  - `title` string, nullable
  - `comments` string, nullable
  - `internal_comments` string, nullable
  - `work_category_id` string, nullable: Single-category form for clients that handle one category, accepted in every revision with the same meaning: a value replaces the first category of the list and keeps the others; `null` removes the first one. To set or clear the full list, send `work_category_ids` instead (not both).
  - `work_category_ids` string[], nullable: Replaces the document's whole category list, in the order given. Omitted → untouched; `[]` or `null` → removes every category; a list → becomes the new list. Same validation as on create (max 10, de-duplicated, company's categories only). Do not send together with `work_category_id`: both → `422 parameter_invalid`. Available since revision 2026-10-03.
  - `km` number, nullable

## Response `200`

Quote updated. Returns the full post-update entity.

- Quote: A customer-facing job estimate. Lifecycle: `waiting` → `accepted` / `rejected`. Totals are server-computed from the embedded line items and are read-only on the wire.
  - `object` 'quote', required
  - `id` string, required
  - `seq_number` integer, required
  - `status` 'waiting' | 'accepted' | 'rejected', required
  - `title` string, nullable
  - `comments` string, nullable
  - `internal_comments` string, nullable
  - `customer_id` string, required
  - `customer_name` string, required
  - `vehicle_id` string, nullable
  - `vehicle_name` string, nullable
  - `vehicle_license` string, nullable
  - `work_category_id` string, nullable
  - `work_category_name` string, nullable
  - `work_category_ids` string[], required: Every work category ("categoria") of the document, in the order chosen. `work_category_id` (kept for clients that handle a single category) always equals the first. `[]` when the document has none, never null. Available since revision 2026-10-03.
  - `work_categories` WorkCategory[], required: The same list as `work_category_ids` with each category's name, same order. `work_category_name` is the first one's name. Available since revision 2026-10-03.
    - `object` 'work_category', required
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `name` string, required
  - `km` number, double, nullable
  - `worksheet_id` string, nullable
  - `worksheet_seq_number` integer, nullable
  - `worksheet_created_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `total_before_tax` number, double
  - `total_tax` number, double
  - `total_after_tax` number, double
  - `total_discount` number, double
  - `total_discount_before_tax` number, double
  - `total_after_discount` number, double
  - `total_work` number, double
  - `total_articles` number, double
  - `hide_discounts` boolean
  - `line_items` QuoteLineItem[], nullable: Embedded line items. Populated on detail / write responses; list responses set this to `null` to keep payloads small.
    - `object` 'quote_line_item', required
    - `id` string, required
    - `line_type` 'item' | 'note' | 'separator', required: `item` is a priced line. `note` is a description-only line and `separator` an empty spacer row: both print without quantity, price and VAT and carry zero amounts (ignore their numeric fields). Lines from documents without types report `item`.
    - `article_id` string, nullable
    - `description` string, required
    - `unit_type` string, required
    - `quantity` number, double, required
    - `unit_price` number, double, required
    - `unit_discount_rate` number, double
    - `tax_rate` number, double
    - `vat_code` string, nullable
    - `total_price` number, double
    - `unit_cost` number, nullable: Internal cost per unit, ex-VAT, never printed on documents. Fixed when the line was written (the article's purchase price at that moment, or the `unit_cost` sent); converting the quote carries it to the worksheet's line. `null` when unknown.
    - `total_before_tax` number, double
    - `total_tax` number, double
    - `total_after_tax` number, double
    - `position` integer, required
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `delivered_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
  - `archived_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `deleted_at` string, date-time, nullable

## Other responses

- `400`: Request body is unparseable or X-API-Version is missing.
- `401`: Missing, malformed, expired, or wrong-audience bearer token.
- `402`: The company has no active subscription, or its plan does not include API access. API access is included in the Business and Illimitato plans.
- `403`: The authenticated user lacks the required permission.
- `404`: Resource does not exist OR belongs to a different company. The two cases are intentionally indistinguishable.
- `415`: Content-Type is not `application/json`, or Accept rejects JSON.
- `422`: A request field is missing or invalid (fast-fail).
- `500`: Unhandled server error. Detail is logged, not exposed.
