SmartBill Invoicing

SmartBill Invoicing

Use scripts/smartbill_cli.py for deterministic SmartBill API calls instead of ad-hoc HTTP snippets.

Workflow

1. Collect invoice input from the user.
2. Validate payload locally before sending:
   • python scripts/smartbill_cli.py validate-payload --input references/invoice-example.json --show-payload
3. Dry-run to inspect the normalized payload without calling the API:
   • python scripts/smartbill_cli.py create-invoice --input --dry-run
4. Issue final invoice after explicit user confirmation:
   • python scripts/smartbill_cli.py create-invoice --input --allow-final
5. Retrieve PDF once series and number are known:
   • python scripts/smartbill_cli.py download-invoice-pdf --series-name --number --output
   • Use the exact number string returned by SmartBill (zero-padded, e.g. "0123"). Do not strip leading zeros or convert to an integer.
   • --output accepts absolute or relative paths and must end in .pdf.

Required Environment

Set these before calling SmartBill:

• MAVERICK_SMARTBILL_USERNAME - SmartBill login email
• MAVERICK_SMARTBILL_TOKEN - SmartBill API token
• MAVERICK_SMARTBILL_COMPANY_VAT_CODE - default CIF (optional but recommended)

Optional overrides:

• MAVERICK_SMARTBILL_API_BASE (default: https://ws.smartbill.ro/SBORO/api)
• MAVERICK_SMARTBILL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (default: 30)
• MAVERICK_SMARTBILL_RETRIES (default: 2)
• MAVERICK_SMARTBILL_DEBUG (default: unset) — set to 1, true, or yes to enable request/response debug logging to stderr

Command Guide

• validate-payload
  • Parse and normalize payload shape (bare invoice object or { "invoice": {...} } wrapper both accepted).
  • Validate minimum required structure before API calls.
• create-invoice
  • Create invoice via POST /invoice.
  • Requires --allow-final to issue a final invoice.
  • Supports --dry-run (prints normalized payload, no API call) and --force-draft.
  • Pass --debug (or set MAVERICK_SMARTBILL_DEBUG=1) to print full request/response payloads to stderr.
• get-series
  • Query available SmartBill series via GET /series.
• download-invoice-pdf
  • Fetch PDF via GET /invoice/pdf using CIF + series + number.
  • --output accepts an absolute or relative .pdf path. Relative paths are resolved against the current working directory. The resolved path must fall within an OpenClaw-allowed media root or the current working directory.

Payload Format

The invoice payload is a flat JSON object sent directly to the SmartBill API. See references/invoice-example.json for the canonical minimal example and references/smartbill-api.md for field documentation.

Both formats are accepted as input to the CLI:

• Bare invoice object: { "companyVatCode": "...", "client": {...}, ... }
• Wrapped: { "invoice": { "companyVatCode": "...", "client": {...}, ... } }

The CLI unwraps automatically and sends the invoice object directly to the API.

Operational Rules

• Always use --dry-run first to confirm the normalized payload before hitting the API.
• Treat final invoice issuance (isDraft: false) as a high-impact action requiring explicit user confirmation.
• Set client.saveToDb: false and products[].saveToDb: false to avoid persisting test data.
• Preserve SmartBill response data (series, number, message) in run logs. Store number verbatim as returned — it is zero-padded (e.g. "0123") and must never be stripped of leading zeros or cast to an integer.
• Respect SmartBill rate limits: max 30 calls per 10 seconds.

References

• Read references/smartbill-api.md for payload field reference, endpoint mapping, and auth/rate-limit notes.
• Use references/invoice-example.json as the canonical starting payload template.
