Hi Developers, I am creating invoice using code get from [https://github.com/nicwise/FreeAgent](https://github.com/nicwise/FreeAgent). My code is like: ``` Invoice c = new Invoice(); c.comments = "Comments"; c.contact = "Contact"; c.created_at = "sometime"; c.currency = "any"; c.dated_on = "somedate"; c.discount_percent = 6.6; c.due_on = "nothing"; c.ec_status = "ec status"; c.exchange_rate = 9.9; c.invoice_items = new List(); c.net_value = 4.4; c.payment_terms_in_days = 10; c.project = "poject"; c.reference = "referece"; c.sales_tax_value = 4.4; c.status = "status"; c.updated_at = "sometime"; c.written_off_date = "somedate"; InvoiceClient ic = new InvoiceClient(_client); ic.Put(c); ``` When i try to create invoice using Put method it gives me error response ({“errors”:[{“message”:“Contact not found for this company”},{“message”:“Project not found for this company”}]}) Kindly tell me where i am wrong? Either i am going wrong way to create invoice or some other problem? Kind Regards, Cheesa, Developer, Ambosco, Sherserve ---

I’m working on that at the moment for another project, but I doubt submitting an invoice works _at the moment_. It only has enough in it for the work I’ve done so far (it’s not an official client) Pulling invoices down does work tho. If you GET an existing invoice, and have a look at the object which is returned, it gives you a very good idea of what the values should be. Nic Wise t. +44 7788 592 806 | @fastchicken b.
