Invoices are hard-deleted and are removed with their project, so a deleted invoice is gone and answers 404. The path takes the numeric id only: this resource has no alternate key, unlike a sales invoice, which can also be addressed by invoice_number.

Path parameters

The Invoice's numeric id.

Request headers

If-None-Matchstring

The ETag a read is conditional on. A match is answered 304 with no body.

Response 200

Returns a Invoice in the detail view.
