Patch a sent invoice

Changed on Sep 15, 2026

Patch fields on a SENT invoice. Supports updating the purchase order number, customer legal company name, customer billing address, memo, reference, and due date. Setting a due date records it as manually chosen and clears the invoice's stored payment terms, so it will not be recomputed from them later. Neither the due date nor the customer legal company name can be cleared: sending an explicit null for either is rejected.
