Xeroizer::ApiException when saving invoice about xeroizer

[SylarRuby]

@golusin AWESOME! Thanks! While Im here, anyway to get the invoice url from the api? Im stuck with this part.

I'm not sure you can create PAID invoices.

Also, you might want to use actual Date or Time objects.

I'm just getting started with the xero api and this gem, and while trying
to create and save an invoice, I'm getting the above error. Here's my code:

xero = Xeroizer::PrivateApplication.new("MY_CONSUMER_KEY",
"MY_SECRET_KEY", "/path/to/my/privatekey.pem")

build contact

contact = xero.Contact.build(
:name => "company",
:first_name => "john",
:last_name => "smith",
:email_address => "[email protected]",
:contact_number => "123"
)

contact.add_address(
:type => "STREET",
:line1 => "123 Any Street",
:city => "New York",
:region => "NY",
:postal_code => "11111",
:country => "United States"
)
contact.save

=> success!

build the invoiceinvoice = xero.Invoice.build(

:type => "ACCREC",
:contact => contact,
:date => "2010-10-01",
:due_date => "2012-10-01",
:line_amount_types => "NoTax",
:invoice_number => "123",
:status => "PAID"

)
invoice.add_line_item(
:description => "My Product",
:quantity => "1",
:unit_amount => "5.00",
:item_code => "120")
invoice.save

=> Xeroizer::ApiException

Am I doing something wrong here? I'm not sure where to begin debugging this.

Thanks!

This error is also being caused by sending quantity, and amounts as strings as well..

invoice.add_line_item(
  :description => "My Product",
  :quantity => "1",
  :unit_amount => "5.00",
  :item_code => "120")

should be

invoice.add_line_item(
  :description => "My Product",
  :quantity => 1,
  :unit_amount => 5.00,
  :item_code => "120")

@mrmason Not really. I can have both string and ints and it works great. The issue, so far, you cannot have a status. Would be great to event have it "AUTHORISED".

# using the OP contact var

invoice = @xero.Invoice.build(
        type: "ACCREC",
        contact: contact,
        sub_total: 99.00,
        total_tax: 0.00,
        total: 99.00,
        currency_code: "GBP",
        amount_due: 0.00,
        amount_paid: 99.00,
        sent_to_contact: false,
        date: Time.now,
        due_date: 7.days.from_now,

      )
      invoice.add_line_item(
        description: "robot repair service",
        unit_amount:  "99.00",
        line_amount:  "99.00",
        quantity:     "1"
      )
      invoice.save

@waynerobinson It's 2016, can you mark invoice as paid soon?

[golusin]

@SylarRuby You can mark invoice as paid. You need to build and save Payment... something like this:

document = {
  type:       'ACCREC',
  status:     'AUTHORISED',
  date:       DateTime.now(),
  due_date:   DateTime.now(),
  line_items: [
    {
      description: 'Product/Service description',
      quantity: 1,
      unit_amount: 100,
      account_code: '200'
    }
  ],
  line_amount_types: "Exclusive",
  contact: { 
    name: 'John Doe' 
  }
}

invoice = @xero.Invoice.build(document)
invoice.save

document_payment = {
  invoice:      invoice,
  account:      { :code => '090' },
  date:         invoice.due_date,
  amount:       invoice.amount_due,
  payment_type: 'ACCRECPAYMENT'
}

payment = @xero.Payment.build(document_payment)
payment.save

For payment you can also pass Xero internal bank account id instead of bank account code. In that case account line should be something like this: account: { account_id: '98C4CEAD-7550-412D-9B72-004E2ABCC1F2C' }
