Overview

The update endpoint intentionally has a narrow scope: it accepts only header fields plus an optional full-item rewrite. It does not support spot-editing a single line — send the whole items array if you need to change one row. If you need a structural change to a fiscal invoice (different client, wholesale repricing, etc.), issue POST /invoices/{id}/storno followed by a fresh POST /invoices rather than mutating the original.

​
Legacy field aliases

Several request fields have aliases that remain accepted for backwards compatibility. New integrations should prefer the canonical names:
CanonicalLegacy aliases
infoobservation, notes
date_atdate
due_atdue_date

​
Row-level totals are derived, not accepted

Row objects inside items[] must not carry price_total or account_amount_total — send the components (quantity, price, vat_rate) and the server recomputes both. Sending totals directly used to work in earlier builds and has been a silent source of rounding drift; the fields are now ignored.

​
Exchange-rate handling

When currency is RON, currency_rate is forced to 1.000 regardless of what you send. For non-RON invoices, a positive exchange_rate propagates into every account_amount_* field on both the invoice header and its rows — so the RON-equivalent totals stay consistent with the foreign-currency totals shown on the PDF.

​
Edit locks

Four conditions block an edit:
  • 400 invoice_is_storno — the row is itself a reversal.
  • 400 invoice_already_storned — the row has been reversed.
  • 400 invoice_is_paid — paid invoice cannot have totals changed (non-total fields like info and due_at still work).
  • 403 invoice_locked_efactura — ANAF has accepted or validated the invoice via SPV. The error payload includes efactura_status.
PUT and PATCH are interchangeable — both route to the same handler.

Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Use your API key (sk_live_xxx or sk_test_xxx)

Path Parameters

​
id
string
required

Invoice CzUid

Body

application/json
​
date_at
string

ISO date or unix timestamp. Alias - date.

​
due_at
string | null

ISO date or unix timestamp. Pass empty/null to clear. Alias - due_date.

​
info
string | null

Free-text notes shown on the PDF. Accepted aliases - observation, notes.

​
client_id
string

CzUid of an existing firm client; rebinds the invoice to that client's current snapshot.

​
currency
string

ISO-4217 code. Passing RON resets currency_rate to 1.

​
exchange_rate
number

Positive FX rate. Ignored for RON invoices. Overrides currency_rate and propagates to all account_amount_* fields.

​
series_id
string

CzUid (or numeric PK) of a firm_number series owned by the firm. Only used when actually switching series.

​
items
object[]

Replace the whole line-items array. Each row accepts description, quantity, price, vat_rate, unit, product_czuid, um_id etc. Row-level price_total and account_amount_total are not accepted — they are recomputed from the components.
