If `netbased` is set to `true`, the prices will be calculated with net prices. If `netbased` is set to `false`, the prices will be calculated with gross prices. The `paymentkind` is used to determine the payment method. The following payment methods are available: - `CT` - Credit Transfer - `DD` - Direct Debit - `CC` - Credit Card - `PP` - PayPal - `IN` - Invoice - `OT` - Other The `items` array contains the items of the invoice. Each item must have a `label`, `quantity`, `unit`, `unitprice`, and `detail` field. The `detail` field is an object that can contain additional information about the item, if tax jurisdiction is used this should contain the items `taxprofile`. The `addresses` array contains the addresses of the invoice. Each address must have a `kind`, `firstname`, `lastname`, `street`, `housenumber`, `zipcode`, `city`, and `country` field. The `extra` field is optional and can be used to provide additional information about the address.
