Can the API assign the next invoice number automatically?
When sending a simple invoice (below). It will return 'InvoiceNumber is required.'
Must I generate a unique invoice number myself or is there a way the API can do this?
Thanks...
POST /api/centerpoint/arinvoices
{
"companyId": "123",
"customerId": "456",
"date": "03-31-2025",
"invoiceNumber": "",
"amount": "3.4",
"lines": [
{
"salesItemId": "789",
"quantity": "1",
"unitPrice": "3.4",
"notes": "a note"
}
]
}

I apologize for the delay. The answer is that, yes, you have to generate the invoice number.
However, we could make a change to the API to have the invoice number generated.
In CenterPoint, you can assign one or more sequences to a type of transaction. If we made a change, we'd probably add a SequenceId to the A/R Invoice DTO which would tell CenterPoint how to automatically assign an invoice ID.
Does that sound OK? Our interface team meets every two weeks, so I will bring this up in our next meeting.

That sounds great, thank you. We're entering invoices generated from another operations system. Right now I'm adding a text prefix to the front to keep numbers separate from anything else.
The prefix will work for now so we aren't held up. I'll build in the option to specify a SequenceId for later. When this feature gets added, we'll switch to it.
