Generate corrective invoice

Issue a corrective invoice amending an issued one; returns 201 with the new invoice. - Born issued; the original is never modified; AEAT alta is asynchronous. - 422 series_invoice_kind_mismatch. - payment_terms defaults to []; negative instalments must add up exactly to a negative total_to_pay.

Signing certificate (NO VERI*FACTU). Only in that mode, a missing or invalid company certificate is rejected before the invoice is issued: 422 verifactu_not_eligible, error.subcode: signing_certificate_unavailable; nothing is consumed, so fix it and repeat the call.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Your API key as a bearer token: fact_live_… in production, fact_test_… in sandbox. See the authentication guide.

In: header

Path Parameters

company*string

Public identifier (UUID v7) of the company. Get it from GET /v1/me (data.scope[].id).

Formatuuid

invoice*string

Public identifier (UUID v7) of the invoice.

Formatuuid

Headers

Idempotency-Key*string

Client-generated opaque key (up to 255 characters; UUID v7 recommended) that makes retries safe: the first response is cached and replayed for repeats without re-executing the mutation. Reusing a key with a different body returns 422 idempotency_key_reused; the values of secret fields (password, secret…) count as part of the body, so retrying with a corrected secret under the same key is a different request, never the replay of the earlier answer. See the Idempotency guide. Required on this operation: repeating it delivers an effect that cannot be taken back (an email sent, a file generated, a third-party call, a charge), so a request without this header is rejected with 422 idempotency_key_required before any business logic runs.

Length1 <= length <= 255

Factuarea-Version?string

Pin the API version (YYYY-MM-DD, Stripe-style date versioning) for this request; omit to use the key's pinned version, or the latest if none. Unsupported version → 400 unsupported_api_version; malformed → 400 parameter_invalid_format. The effective version is echoed in the Factuarea-Version response header. See the Versioning guide.

TypeScript Definitions

Use the request body type in TypeScript.

lines?array<>

Items1 <= items

payment_terms?array<>|

Create omitted/null means unknown; [] means explicitly no schedule, including a positive payable. Update omitted preserves, null removes the schedule only on a draft, [] explicitly selects none, and a list replaces all rows. No merge or automatic matching by index. A nonempty list must balance exactly; total zero allows only null/[]. With a nonempty list the invoice falls due on its last instalment: due_on must be that date when the invoice is issued (422 invoice_due_date_not_last_instalment), a draft keeps the date you send, and an update that replaces the list without due_on moves it to the last instalment.

expected_selection_version?string

Not accepted by this operation: rejected with 422 when revisioned presentation is enabled for the company, ignored otherwise.

pdf_template_id?|

Optional nullable tenant-template UUID for the corrective invoice. Omit it to inherit the default; a UUID requests a compatible manual selection. It only takes effect when revisioned presentation is enabled for the company; otherwise it is ignored.

Formatuuid

correction_reason*string

correction_type*string

Value in"full" | "partial"

correction_code?|

Value in"R1" | "R2" | "R3" | "R4" | "R5" | null

correction_nature?|

Nature of the correction (art. 15.5 Royal Decree 1619/2012; VeriFactu TipoRectificativa). Optional: OMIT it and full with lines is a substitution (S), while full without lines and partial are by differences (I). I, by differences: the corrective carries the amount of the rectification, whatever its sign — void the whole invoice with correction_type: full and no lines, or correct some amounts with partial and the adjustment lines (full with lines and an explicit I is rejected). S, substitution: correction_type: full with the FINAL lines of the correct invoice (no negative quantity); registered with ImporteRectificacion (base and tax of the original). An incoherent combination is rejected with 422 before anything is created.
