Invoice Put Example

In this example, we are updating a single attribute on the invoice record:

This field must be a custom field of the invoice.

We did a PUT to the URL: https://<instance>.coupahost.com/api/invoices/<invoice id> 

URL:  https://<instance>.coupahost.com/api/invoices/33

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<invoice-header>
	 <invoice_description>Invoice Test Description</invoice_description>
</invoice-header>

The following example illustrates the put call for adding an invoice line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<invoice-header>
	 <invoice-number>320</invoice-number>
	 <status>draft</status>
	 <invoice-lines type="array">

				 <description>iPad with Wi-Fi is ideal if you have a wireless high- speed Internet router in your home</description>
				 <price type="decimal">499.00</price>
				 <price-per-uom type="decimal">0.00</price-per-uom>
				 <quantity type="decimal">1.0</quantity>

				 <tax-amount type="decimal">0.00</tax-amount>
