  • InvoiceId MUST be of type String.
  • InvoiceId MUST conform to StringHandling requirements.
  • InvoiceId MUST adhere to the following nullability requirements:
    • InvoiceId MUST be null when the charge is not associated either with an invoice or with a pre-generated provisional invoice.
    • InvoiceId MUST NOT be null when the charge is associated with either an issued invoice or a pre-generated provisional invoice.
  • InvoiceId MAY be generated prior to an invoice being issued.
  • InvoiceId MUST be associated with the related charge and BillingAccountId when a pre-generated invoice or provisional invoice exists.
