Send Self Billed Invoice

post
https://api.wafeq.com/ae/v1/self-billing/invoices

Issue a self-billed invoice (UBL 389) through the Peppol network.

Under a self-billing agreement the buyer issues on the supplier's behalf, so
you are the customer (hydrated from your registered profile) and you
provide the supplier counterparty. The document is transmitted to the
supplier (customer → supplier), with the self-billing profile/process.

Live mode requires an active subscription for the taxpayer’s organization.
Returns HTTP 402 with detail.code=subscription_required when absent or
inactive, or HTTP 503 with detail.code=billing_status_unavailable when
billing status is stale. Sandbox does not require a subscription.

Body Params

Headers
string | null

Optional taxpayer-scoped submission key. Repeat the same key and payload to replay the saved response without resending. Required with corrects_document_id or queued delivery. Changed payloads and unfinished attempts return 409. Keys have no automatic expiry.

Set respond-async with Idempotency-Key to request durable queued delivery. Requires server enablement.

Allowed:
string | null
stringrequired

Taxpayer ID (txpay_…). Required with an organization API key (pk_…) for this taxpayer-specific operation, even for one taxpayer. Not a TIN. Optional with a taxpayer access token, which already names its taxpayer.

string | null

Grant ID (tgr_…) to act through, with an organization API key. The request then has exactly that grant's scopes and fails once the grant is revoked. Without it, the key acts through all of the organization's active grants on the taxpayer.
