PUT/
Sets the number the next sales order, purchase order or invoice gets, and returns all three next numbers. Send only the counters you want to change.
Only documents created afterwards use the new numbers; existing documents keep theirs. New sales orders are numbered SO plus the number, padded with zeros to at least 4 digits (SO0042, SO1043); from 5 digits up, one extra zero is added (SO010000). Purchase orders use PO the same way. Invoices use the plain number.
Business rules
- Each value must be a number of at least 1. Send whole numbers: a fraction is rounded, so the next number may not be the one you asked for.
- YoPrint doesn't check the number against existing documents. Setting it below a number already used makes new documents repeat existing numbers.
Side effects
- Tells the team's open web app sessions about the new numbers.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.

api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, withunauthorizedoruser_is_not_authorized.- When

An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answerconnect_timeout("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.- When
- A value is not a number or is below 1.
error.codeisvalidation_failed, anderror.fieldsnames each field with its messages. - Fix
- Fix the fields listed in
error.fieldsand send the request again.
