# Customers and articles endpoints The customer register (bulk-create supported, archive via DELETE) and the read-only article register used for invoice line linkage. Conventions (auth, envelope, pagination, dry-run, idempotency, standard errors) are in SKILL.md and are not repeated per endpoint. ### `GET /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/articles` **List the article register (artikelregister).** `scope:invoices:read · risk:low · idempotent` Returns the company's articles ordered by name. Pass ?include_inactive=true to include soft-deactivated articles. Use the returned id as items[].article_id when creating invoices; housework_type carries the ROT/RUT arbetstypskod for service articles, and revenue_account the optional BAS class-3 override. **Use when:** You need the article catalog before composing invoice lines: to resolve an article_id, read its price/VAT defaults, or find ROT/RUT-tagged service articles (housework_type set). **Do not use for:** Creating or editing articles (dashboard-only for now). Invoice line creation itself (POST …/invoices with items[].article_id). **Pitfalls:** - Linking article_id does NOT auto-fill the invoice line: send description, unit_price, vat_rate etc. explicitly on the item (copy them from this response). - price_excl_vat always excludes VAT. - price_excl_vat is denominated in the article's own currency, which is NOT always SEK. Check currency before copying the price onto an invoice line: the invoice carries a single currency for all its lines and there is no FX conversion here. - housework_type is an arbetstypskod hint (e.g. BYGG, STAD); the invoice line still needs deduction_type + labor_hours + work_type set explicitly for ROT/RUT. - Inactive articles (active=false) are hidden by default but remain linkable for historical reads. | Parameter | In | Type | Required | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | `companyId` | path | `string` | yes | | Response `200`: ```ts { data: { articles: { id: string, article_number: string, name: string, name_en: string, type: "vara" | "tjanst", unit: string, price_excl_vat: number, currency: string, vat_rate: number, revenue_account: string, cost_price: number, ean: string, housework_type: string, notes: string, active: boolean, created_at: string, updated_at: string }[] }, meta: { request_id: string, api_version: string, next_cursor?: string, audit?: { voucher_number?: string, voucher_url?: string, audit_trail_url?: string, immutable_at?: string }, partial_expansions?: string[] } } ``` --- ### `GET /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/customers` **List customers for a company.** `scope:customers:read · risk:low · idempotent` Returns active customers in created-first order. Pass ?include_archived=true to include archived rows. Use ?search to match against name or org_number. **Use when:** You need a customer roster: for building a UI picker, syncing a CRM, or resolving a customer_id before creating an invoice. **Do not use for:** Fetching a single customer you already know the id of: use GET /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/customers/{id}. Suppliers are a separate resource. **Pitfalls:** - Archived customers are hidden by default; the dashboard makes the same choice. - org_number is included so callers can match against external CRM identifiers; for sole traders (enskild firma) it equals the personnummer. | Parameter | In | Type | Required | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | `companyId` | path | `string` | yes | | Response `200`: ```ts { data: { id: string, name: string, customer_type: "individual" | "swedish_business" | "eu_business" | "non_eu_business", email: string, org_number: string, vat_number: string, default_payment_terms: number, archived_at: string, created_at: string }[], meta: { request_id: string, api_version: string, next_cursor?: string, audit?: { voucher_number?: string, voucher_url?: string, audit_trail_url?: string, immutable_at?: string }, partial_expansions?: string[] } } ``` --- ### `POST /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/customers` **Create a customer.** `scope:customers:write · risk:low · idempotent · dry-run · reversible` Creates a new customer for the company. Requires Idempotency-Key (UUID). Supports ?dry_run=true for input validation without committing: the dry-run response shows the would-be record minus id and timestamps. EU-business customers with a VAT number are auto-validated against VIES on commit. **Use when:** You need to register a new customer before invoicing them. Use dry-run first to catch validation errors before committing. **Do not use for:** Updating an existing customer (PATCH instead). Creating suppliers (different resource). **Pitfalls:** - Idempotency-Key is mandatory: calls without it return 400 VALIDATION_ERROR. - org_number uniqueness is enforced at the database level; duplicate inserts return 409 CUSTOMER_DUPLICATE_ORG_NUMBER. - For Swedish sole traders (customer_type=individual), org_number IS the personnummer. List responses mask it; the create endpoint accepts it as input. - VIES validation runs only on commit. Dry-run skips the external call and leaves vat_number_validated=false in the preview. | Parameter | In | Type | Required | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | `companyId` | path | `string` | yes | | Request body: ```ts { name: string, customer_type: "individual" | "swedish_business" | "eu_business" | "non_eu_business", customer_number?: string, contact_person?: string, email?: string, phone?: string, invoice_email_cc_addresses?: string[], invoice_email_bcc_addresses?: string[], address_line1?: string, address_line2?: string, postal_code?: string, city?: string, country?: string, org_number?: string, vat_number?: string, personal_number: string, language?: "sv" | "en", default_payment_terms?: number, notes?: string } ``` Response `200`: ```ts { data: { id: string, name: string, customer_type: "individual" | "swedish_business" | "eu_business" | "non_eu_business", customer_number: string, contact_person: string, email: string, phone: string, invoice_email_cc_addresses: string[], invoice_email_bcc_addresses: string[], address_line1: string, address_line2: string, postal_code: string, city: string, country: string, org_number: string, vat_number: string, vat_number_validated: boolean, default_payment_terms: number, notes: string, archived_at: string, created_at: string, updated_at: string }, meta: { request_id: string, api_version: string, next_cursor?: string, audit?: { voucher_number?: string, voucher_url?: string, audit_trail_url?: string, immutable_at?: string }, partial_expansions?: string[] } } ``` --- ### `GET /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/customers/{id}` **Retrieve a single customer by id.** `scope:customers:read · risk:low · idempotent` Returns the full customer record. Pass ?expand=invoices to embed any open invoices (sent / partially_paid / overdue) for the customer in the same response. **Use when:** You need the full customer record: address, payment terms, VAT validation status, contact details: before invoicing or syncing to another system. **Do not use for:** Listing customers (use the list endpoint). Looking up arbitrary supplier or employee records (different resources). **Pitfalls:** - archived_at is non-null when the customer has been soft-deleted; the customer is still queryable by id but excluded from default lists. - vat_number_validated reflects the last successful VIES check; it can become stale if the EU registry revokes a number. | Parameter | In | Type | Required | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | `companyId` | path | `string` | yes | | | `id` | path | `string` | yes | | Response `200`: ```ts { data: { id: string, name: string, customer_type: string, customer_number: string, contact_person: string, email: string, phone: string, invoice_email_cc_addresses: string[], invoice_email_bcc_addresses: string[], address_line1: string, address_line2: string, postal_code: string, city: string, country: string, org_number: string, vat_number: string, vat_number_validated: boolean, default_payment_terms: number, notes: string, archived_at: string, created_at: string, updated_at: string }, meta: { request_id: string, api_version: string, next_cursor?: string, audit?: { voucher_number?: string, voucher_url?: string, audit_trail_url?: string, immutable_at?: string }, partial_expansions?: string[] } } ``` --- ### `PATCH /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/customers/{id}` **Partially update a customer.** `scope:customers:write · risk:low · idempotent · dry-run · reversible` Patches the customer with the supplied fields. All fields optional. Idempotent (mandatory Idempotency-Key). Dry-runnable. When vat_number changes on an eu_business customer, VIES re-validation runs on commit (best-effort). **Use when:** You need to change a customer's contact details, payment terms, address, or VAT registration. Use dry-run first to confirm the merged record before committing. **Do not use for:** Archiving a customer (use DELETE: sets archived_at). Replacing the entire record (no PUT verb is exposed; PATCH is partial). **Pitfalls:** - Idempotency-Key is mandatory; calls without it return 400. - org_number uniqueness is enforced at DB level: 23505 → 409 CUSTOMER_DUPLICATE_ORG_NUMBER. - VIES re-validation is best-effort and runs only on commit. A VIES timeout does not fail the update. | Parameter | In | Type | Required | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | `companyId` | path | `string` | yes | | | `id` | path | `string` | yes | | Request body: ```ts { name?: string, customer_type?: "individual" | "swedish_business" | "eu_business" | "non_eu_business", customer_number?: string, contact_person?: string, email?: string, phone?: string, invoice_email_cc_addresses?: string[], invoice_email_bcc_addresses?: string[], address_line1?: string, address_line2?: string, postal_code?: string, city?: string, country?: string, org_number?: string, vat_number?: string, personal_number?: string, language?: "sv" | "en", default_payment_terms?: number, notes?: string } ``` Response `200`: ```ts { data: { id: string, name: string, customer_type: string, customer_number: string, contact_person: string, email: string, phone: string, invoice_email_cc_addresses: string[], invoice_email_bcc_addresses: string[], address_line1: string, address_line2: string, postal_code: string, city: string, country: string, org_number: string, vat_number: string, vat_number_validated: boolean, default_payment_terms: number, notes: string, archived_at: string, created_at: string, updated_at: string }, meta: { request_id: string, api_version: string, next_cursor?: string, audit?: { voucher_number?: string, voucher_url?: string, audit_trail_url?: string, immutable_at?: string }, partial_expansions?: string[] } } ``` --- ### `DELETE /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/customers/{id}` **Archive a customer (soft-delete).** `scope:customers:write · risk:medium · idempotent · dry-run · reversible` Sets archived_at on the customer; the record is preserved (invoices and audit history remain intact) but excluded from default list responses. To un-archive, PATCH archived_at back to null. Idempotent: archiving an already-archived customer is a no-op. Dry-runnable. **Use when:** You want to remove a customer from active rosters without losing their history. Idempotent: re-archiving is safe. **Do not use for:** Permanently deleting a customer with all history: the public API does not expose hard-delete. GDPR erasure requests go through a dedicated workflow. **Pitfalls:** - Idempotency-Key is mandatory. - A customer with any open invoice (sent / partially_paid / overdue) cannot be archived: returns 409 CUSTOMER_HAS_INVOICES. Issue a kreditfaktura first if you need to close the relationship cleanly. This protects ML 17 kap 24§: the customer record is the canonical source of buyer name/address for invoice reissuance. - 204 No Content is returned on success: there is no response body to parse. | Parameter | In | Type | Required | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | `companyId` | path | `string` | yes | | | `id` | path | `string` | yes | | Response `204`. --- ### `POST /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/customers/bulk-create` **Create up to 50 customers in one call (partial-success).** `scope:customers:write · risk:low · idempotent · dry-run · reversible` Bulk-create endpoint mirroring /invoices/bulk-create. Each customer is validated and inserted independently: per-item failures do not roll back items that succeeded. Returns a results array plus a summary. Idempotent over the whole batch. Dry-runnable. **Use when:** You're importing a roster of customers from another CRM, or seeding a fresh company with its existing client list. Use dry-run first to validate the batch. **Do not use for:** Updating existing customers: PATCH /customers/{id} once per customer. Bulk uploads of > 50 customers: split into pages of 50. Transactional all-or-nothing imports: passing all_or_nothing: true returns 501 NOT_IMPLEMENTED. **Pitfalls:** - Idempotency-Key is mandatory and covers the WHOLE batch. A retried bulk-create returns the cached full response: it does not retry only the failed items. - Passing all_or_nothing: true returns 501 NOT_IMPLEMENTED. Today only partial-success batches exist; omit the flag or pass false. - org_number uniqueness is enforced at the DB level: items with duplicates fail individually with CUSTOMER_DUPLICATE_ORG_NUMBER. - VIES validation for eu_business customers is best-effort per item; a VIES timeout leaves vat_number_validated=false but does NOT fail the item. | Parameter | In | Type | Required | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | `companyId` | path | `string` | yes | | Request body: ```ts { customers: { name: string, customer_type: "individual" | "swedish_business" | "eu_business" | "non_eu_business", customer_number?: string, contact_person?: string, email?: string, phone?: string, invoice_email_cc_addresses?: string[], invoice_email_bcc_addresses?: string[], address_line1?: string, address_line2?: string, postal_code?: string, city?: string, country?: string, org_number?: string, vat_number?: string, personal_number: string, language?: "sv" | "en", default_payment_terms?: number, notes?: string }[], all_or_nothing?: boolean } ``` Response `200`: ```ts { data: { results: { ok: boolean, request_index: number, data?: unknown, error?: { code: string, message: string, details?: unknown } }[], summary: { total: number, succeeded: number, failed: number } }, meta: { request_id: string, api_version: string, next_cursor?: string, audit?: { voucher_number?: string, voucher_url?: string, audit_trail_url?: string, immutable_at?: string }, partial_expansions?: string[] } } ```
