Hello! The only way I can think of would be to delete the invoice item before it's pulled into an invoice, or add the invoice item to a different invoice so it's not automatically pulled in

#

Ah hmm. Okay. Our use case is - we've been adding expedited shipping charges to a particular subscription and allowing them to move the next upcoming invoice around using trial

#

Would the smart solution be to delete the current upcoming / draft invoice and allow it to be recreated, or what do you think there?

#

Well let me back up for a minute- when you say "upcoming", do you mean an invoice that's actually already been created but is currently a draft? Or are you talking about previewed upcoming invoice you get back from using the upcoming invoices api?

#

It's kind of a weird use case (expedited shipping + scheduled shipment) so I'm okay dropping it honestly

#

I think previewed - using upcoming API. But there is also a draft. Maybe I should switch away from the upcoming API?

#

If there's a draft can you send me the invoice ID there?

#

Using the upcoming invoice api is fine - I'm just a bit confused here because there shouldn't be a draft

#

Ah sorry I'm afk, was just hoping to sneak my q in before you guys go dark for the weekend 🙂 I suppose you're probably right, no draft, just an upcoming in the ui

#

Oh

#

I remember the error - no invoice item and the id was similar to "il_tmp_xxxx" if that rings a bell

halcyon solstice Aug 11, 2023, 11:09 PM

#

Yeah if it's got the "tmp" in there that means it doesn't actually exist yet

#

With upcoming invoices we're just showing you a preview of what we'll create when it's actually time for the subscription to cycle- the invoice itself hasn't actually been created yet.

#

Feel free to come back later w/ a subcsription ID - it'll probably be easiest to look at it on our end and you can tell us specifically which line you're trying to remove.

elfin vortex Aug 11, 2023, 11:13 PM

#

Sure I'll do that. So there's a path to deleting them, in any case?

halcyon solstice Aug 11, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

It depends - if it's a real invoice item then you'd do what I mentioned (delete the invoice item or invoice it separately). But if there's no invoice item there's likely something else happening that I'd want to look into closer
