Complete POS Invoice (v1)

Method & Path

POST /v1/workspace/:workspaceId/pos/invoices/:invoiceId/complete

Actual backend path: /v1/workspace/:workspaceId/pos/invoices/:invoiceId/complete

Description

Complete a draft POS invoice. This sets the invoice status to completed, deducts product stock for line items whose product has trackInventory enabled (using the same storefront stock service as storefront orders), and sets stockDeductedAt. Products with trackInventory: false are not deducted. Line items with ignoreStock: true are skipped for both stock validation and deduction. The invoice can no longer be modified.

When ignoreStock is true on this request, all line items skip stock validation and deduction (the whole cart is completed without affecting store inventory). Each line is stored with ignoreStock: true.

The paymentMethod on the POS invoice itself is always set when the invoice is completed (defaults to cash if omitted in the request). It is stored on the completed POS invoice independently of whether a client financial invoice is created.

When createClientInvoice is used, the same paymentMethod is used for the initial client payment record (when amountPaid > 0). The linked client invoice issueDate (and payment date when applicable) is derived from the invoice’s businessDate and the workspace timezone (not only wall-clock time), so overnight shifts stay under one operational day in financial reports.

Persona access: Workspace Owner; Staff with store.orders.manage. Customer (client) cannot use POS.
