Body
application/json
The bill's lines (VendorBillLineInput, the one line shape every bill door reads).
Show child attributes
Show child attributes
The posting date: the date the bill's journal entries post on, and the anchor of its due date. Defaults to bill_date. It must fall inside the entity's posting-date window (entities.settings.manual_je_future_days ahead of today UTC, default 0; manual_je_backdate_days behind it, default 180), in an open accounting period, and outside a locked AP tax year; otherwise the bill is refused 422 and nothing is written.
Why the posting date is further back than the backdate window. Read only when the window refuses it; granted when the calling identity holds accounting.close_period and an accounting period covers the date, and recorded on the bill's own audit row.
Required string length:
4 - 500The forward mirror of backdate_reason: why the posting date is further ahead of today (UTC) than the forward window. Granted on the same terms (and a MONTHLY accounting period covering the date); the bill's entry then posts on that date. Recorded on the bill's own audit row.
Required string length:
4 - 500Migration:write scope required. Skip GL posting for historical import.
For a standalone landed bill (landed lines, no goods lines, no po_id): the purchase receipts it lands on. A non-empty set on a bill that names a po_id is refused 422 landed_receipt_set_with_po on every bill door (a landed line on a PO-linked bill lands on that PO's receipts). Any number of landed bills may land on one receipt (freight and duty on one shipment); an id that is not a purchase receipt of the entity is refused 422 invalid_receipt. Every landed bill already on these receipts is returned in landed_receipt_warnings (bill, vendor, categories, amount, date, and a sentence).
Overrides a duplicate refusal, with duplicate_override_reason; the override is audited. It answers the vendor-invoice-number duplicate (409 duplicate_vendor_invoice_number) and the likely duplicate LANDED charge (409 landed_duplicate_charge: a bill already covering every receipt this bill lands on, in any mode, carries a landed line of the same category within one percent of a new line; the refusal lists the candidates and requires_override). Never a hard block.
Why the duplicate is a separate charge (required with allow_duplicate_override; written to the audit trail).
Response
Created vendor bill. A bill with landed lines also carries, beside data, landed_receipt_warnings (every landed bill already on the receipts it lands on, in any mode), landed_allocation (what the allocation posted and the basis each landed line actually used, a fallback named) and landed_duplicate_overridden when an override was used. The cost figures in them follow the margin permission (an API key never receives them).
A vendor invoice (AP). Posts to AP and inventory/expense on approval.
Available options:
vendor_bill Sequential bill number per entity.
Vendor's invoice number.
Available options:
draft, pending_approval, approved, rejected, paid, partially_paid, voided The vendor's document date.
The posting date: the date the bill's journal entries post to the general ledger and the anchor of its due date. Defaults to bill_date. It may be ahead of or behind bill_date inside the entity's posting-date window (Settings > Fiscal Year); a posted bill's posting date moves only through a linked pair of correcting entries, never by editing this field.
The date of the bill's own journal entry (returned by GET /v1/vendor_bills/{id}).
The date the bill's liability sits on in the ledger now, which follows a posting-date correction (returned by GET /v1/vendor_bills/{id}).
Null when the bill's posting date can still be moved; otherwise why not, as the re-date door would refuse it (for example bill_terminal for a voided bill). Returned by GET /v1/vendor_bills/{id}.
Show child attributes
Show child attributes
The latest date the bill's posting date may move to: the first day money or credit relieved the bill (a posted payment, an applied vendor credit, an applied prepayment), so the vendor's payable never runs negative in between; null when nothing has relieved it. Returned by GET /v1/vendor_bills/{id}.
Every posting-date correction of this bill, newest first. Each is a linked pair of CORRECTION journal entries: the OUT leg removes the liability from from_date and the IN leg records it on to_date. At most one pair is live (the one carrying the liability now). Returned by GET /v1/vendor_bills/{id}.

bill_total minus amount_paid. Unlike the sales-side orders.balance_due, this is NEVER coerced to 0 by document lifecycle: a draft or terminal vendor bill still reports its true remaining payable. There is therefore no separate amount_due field on this resource. SSOT: utils/ap-helpers.mjs::updateAPBalance.
Every receipt the bill's landed allocations reached, in all three modes (Case A, a landed-only bill naming a PO, a receipt set); allocated_amount only for a caller with the margin permission (never an API key today). Returned by GET /v1/vendor-bills/{id}.
