Invoice API not sending any response when adding invalid category

1

Hi,

I am using freeagent API’s for creating customer invoices etc.

While creating invoices through API’s if I pass bank category code instead
of Sales category code it was failed that invoice to pass to package but it
was not send any response like “invalid category code” etc.

how should I get any response in this scenario because I need to send
proper error to my clients in this scenarios.

Hi there,

From your description of the problem, it sounds like you might be passing a
reference to an “Admin Expense” category or a “Cost of Sales” category,
rather than an “Income Category”.

I’ve just tested the API and for both of these errors, meaningful error
messages are returned:

“message”: “Income Category expected, got Admin Expenses Category”
“message”: “Income Category expected, got Cost Of Sales Category”

It’s possible I’m misunderstanding your query. Would you mind providing an
example of the parameters you’re sending to the /invoices end-point, please?

Thanks!
