API Creating new Invoice status flag not accepted

1

Hi,

I am using the V2 API to try and create a new invoice with the status
‘Sent’. The parameter is being sent to the API and the Invoice created
however the status remains on draft.

Is this a bug with the API or something that could be wrong?

Hi Graeme,

We’re actually writing a hook for WHMCS which creates FreeAgent
invoices when a WHMCS invoice is paid.

The invoice goes into FreeAgent with the same details on it, and
should be marked as sent straight away so that our accounts department
can explain the invoice against a corresponding transaction. Otherwise
they have to manually set them to Sent before they can explain them.
We don’t want to actually e-mail the FreeAgent invoice out until it is
explained, so that the customer sees an invoice with zero due
(otherwise they might pay twice mistakenly).

Regards,

Hi Chris,

At the moment you should make a draft invoice and then update it as sent
using a second API call. This mirrors the behaviour in the app.

I’ll look into creating sent invoices directly without a second api call.
Can you give me some insight into what your doing? Is it the case that
you’re normally creating Sent invoices rather than Draft invoices?

Kind regards,

Graeme

Hi Matthew,

Did you resolve this in the end?

The API allows you to mark an invoice as sent
(FreeAgent Developer Dashboard) so you could
follow up the initial POST request with a PUT? It won’t be atomic but might
work for you,
