MCP id subscription-items.updateAlso on this path: GET Read a subscription line, DELETE Delete a subscription line

Partially updates one line: absent keys are untouched.

Token scope: api:write:customer_subscriptions
Without it: 403 insufficient-token-scope.
Permission: customer_subscriptions::update
Without it: 403 insufficient-permission.
Feature: Needs the billing feature on your organisation.
Without it: 404 endpoint-not-found.

Also: Accepts If-Match. Never cached: private, no-store. Unknown body keys are refused, never dropped.

Both are checked, scope first. A token never does more than its user. How access is checked

Send If-Match with the ETag from your last read to detect a concurrent edit, which answers 412. vat_amount and total_amount are recomputed by the server from quantity, sales_price and vat_rate and are never accepted. customer_subscription_id and sort_order are not accepted either: a line cannot be moved to another subscription, and there is no way to reorder lines through the API. Repointing subscribable away from a hosting product also clears the hosting site or server linked to the line in plnnrly; that link is not published by this API, so send subscribable only when you mean to change what is being sold. A deleted line answers 404 unless trashed=with is passed.

Path parameters

subscription_itemintegerRequired

The SubscriptionItem's numeric id. Accepts a soft-deleted record.

Query parameters

Unknown parameters are refused with 400, naming the parameter.

viewstring

Which field set to render.

summarydetaildefault

trashedstring

Whether soft-deleted rows are included.

Request headers

X-Request-Idstringpattern

A correlation id of your own. It is recorded in our logs next to the server's request id but never returned: the response header always carries the server's id. A value that does not match the pattern is discarded silently, never rejected.

If-Matchstring

The ETag a write is conditional on. A stale validator is 412 precondition-failed.

Request body

Unknown keys are refused with 422, naming the key.

descriptionstring or null

The line text, as printed on the invoice a renewal generates. May contain placeholders such as {{$domain}}; the API publishes the raw stored text and those are resolved only at invoice time.

quantityinteger≥ 1

Number of units billed per period.

purchase_pricedecimal (2 dp)0 to 99999999.99

Cost price per unit, for margin bookkeeping only. It feeds neither generated amount below and appears on no invoice.

2 decimal places, not negative

At least 0. At most 99999999.99.

sales_pricedecimal (2 dp)0 to 99999999.99

Sales price per unit, excluding VAT. This is what actually bills: a renewal copies it into the generated invoice row's unit price.

2 decimal places, not negative

At least 0. At most 99999999.99.

vat_rateinteger0 to 100

VAT percentage as a whole number: 21 means 21%.

subscribable_typestring or null

What this line sells. Rendered as {"id": N} until named in ?include=subscribable, which additionally requires the read permission and token scope of the subscription_products prefix. Lines that bill a hosting domain or a server carry a subscribable_type this API publishes no shape for, and keep the {"id": N} form however they are requested; identify those from subscribable_type and subscribable_id yourself. Null on both halves is a free-text line priced by hand.

Required when subscribable_id is present.

subscription_product

subscribable_idinteger or null → SubscriptionProduct.id

Required when subscribable_type is present.

exact_item_idstring or null≤ 255

Exact Online article identifier this line bills against. Optional: a renewal falls back to the subscription product's own Exact values and then to the organisation's Exact defaults, so leaving it empty does not break the sync.

exact_vat_codestring or null≤ 255

Exact Online VAT code, by code rather than by id.

exact_gl_accountstring or null≤ 255

Exact Online general-ledger revenue account for this line.

exact_cost_centerstring or null≤ 255

Exact Online cost-centre code.

Response 200

Returns a SubscriptionItem in the detail view.

Headers

ETag: A strong validator of exactly this representation.
RateLimit: The IETF httpapi-ratelimit-headers form of your remaining allowance on the tightest bucket this request touched.
RateLimit-Policy: The ceiling and window of that bucket, as <limit>;w=<seconds>.
X-Request-Id: The server-generated ULID correlating this response with our logs.

Every response also carries Cache-Control, Vary, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Plnnrly-Api-Version, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset. Headers and versioning

idinteger

Unique identifier.

customer_subscription_idintegerServer-assigned

The subscription this line belongs to. Taken from the path on create and never writable afterwards: a line cannot be moved to another subscription.

customer_subscriptionRef or CustomerSubscriptionSummary

The subscription this line belongs to.

subscribable_typestring or null

The kind of record subscribable points at; it says which branch of subscribable applies.

subscription_product

New values may be added.

subscribable_idinteger or null

The id of the record subscribable points at.

subscribableRef or SubscriptionProductSummary or null

Which form you get depends on subscribable_type.

subscription_product: SubscriptionProductSummary

descriptionstring or nullMultiline

The line text, as printed on the invoice a renewal generates. May contain placeholders such as {{$domain}}; the API publishes the raw stored text and those are resolved only at invoice time.

quantityinteger

Number of units billed per period.

purchase_pricedecimal (2 dp)≥ 0

Cost price per unit, for margin bookkeeping only. It feeds neither generated amount below and appears on no invoice.

2 decimal places, not negative

sales_pricedecimal (2 dp)≥ 0

Sales price per unit, excluding VAT. This is what actually bills: a renewal copies it into the generated invoice row's unit price.

2 decimal places, not negative

vat_rateinteger

VAT percentage as a whole number: 21 means 21%.

vat_amountdecimal (2 dp)Server-assigned

VAT on this line, computed by the server: quantity x sales_price x vat_rate / 100. Read-only.

2 decimal places, may be negative

total_amountdecimal (2 dp)Server-assigned

Line total including VAT (quantity x sales_price plus the VAT above), computed by the server. Note this is the opposite convention from SalesInvoiceRow.total_amount, which excludes VAT: adding VAT to this value double-counts it. Read-only.

2 decimal places, may be negative

sort_orderintegerServer-assigned

Position of the line within its subscription, and the default sort key. Assigned on create; there is no way to reorder lines through the API. Only the ordering is meaningful: values are not unique across subscriptions.

exact_item_idstring or null≤ 255
