Create invoice for identity by identityReference

This will create an invoice assigned to the given identity.

The netbased flag is used to determine if the invoice should be calculated with net prices or gross prices. 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.
