Schedule an invoice
Reserve the issuance of a draft invoice for a future instant. The invoice moves to scheduled and nothing fiscal happens yet: it keeps its BORRADOR placeholder number, no series counter is consumed and nothing is registered with VeriFactu. Scheduling never burns numbering.
What happens at scheduled_for. A sweep runs every minute and, on the first pass at or after that instant, it: (1) assigns the definitive correlative number of the series at that moment, not when you scheduled — so a document scheduled today and issued next month takes the number that corresponds to next month; (2) freezes the recipient and issuer snapshots as of that instant, which is what the PDF and the fiscal XML will show; (3) moves the invoice to sent; (4) queues the VeriFactu alta to AEAT asynchronously when the company is enrolled; and (5) emails the client only when scheduled_action is issue_and_send and the client has an email on file — with scheduled_action: draft the invoice is issued but never delivered, and issue_and_send without a recipient email still issues it, silently skipping the delivery.
Time zone. scheduled_for is an ISO 8601 date-time. If it carries an explicit offset (2027-01-15T09:00:00Z, …+01:00) that offset is honoured; without one it is read in the account's server time zone, Europe/Madrid. Resolution is minute-level: expect issuance within about a minute of the instant you asked for, never before it.
If the scheduled issuance fails, each invoice is isolated in its own transaction: the failing one stays scheduled with its date in the past, the error is logged, the rest of the batch is unaffected and the next sweep retries it. A successful issuance is never repeated, because scheduled → sent can only happen once.
Limits: only a draft can be scheduled (any other status returns 422) and scheduled_for must be strictly in the future (422 otherwise). While it is still scheduled you can call unschedule to return it to draft, or reschedule to move only the date.

Path Parameters
Header Parameters
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.
dateOperate on behalf of a child company (gestoría master key): pass its public id (UUID v7) and the request runs against that child's data without changing the key's scope, tier or environment (omit to use the key's own company). Invalid UUID → 400 parameter_invalid_uuid; unknown or non-owned id → 404 profile_not_found. See the Acting on behalf guide.
