The Order Endpoints

These endpoints allow you to Create, Get or Patch (Update) orders.
More and extra info about the order object can be found below.

With our API you can create Invoices, Creditnotes, Offers, .... Just take a look at our different endpoints below.

When creating an invoice these are some minimal required fields that you have to provide the API.

ExpiryDate	DateTime	Date when the invoice expiries
Orderlines	--Orderlines--	The lines with items on the invoice
CustomerID / Customer object	INT / Customer object	This to know who you are sending the invoice too or who its from

You can see we did do not expect you to provide your own data since we already have this in our system.

Customer/Supplier object

When creating an order or retrieving it some of these objects are available.
Below you can see which have to be in the Order object for each Order direction(Types). Billit will take the company information for the Direction used and set it automatically.

Order Direction	Party Object
Income	Customer
Cost	Supplier

There are 2 options on how to add these objects.
