Turn a sealed folio into the numbered document its recipient keeps — a tax invoice, or a credit note when the target is a rebate folio whose original was invoiced. Allocates the next value from the property’s series inside this transaction (dense: a failed issue releases the number rather than burning it), snapshots the issuer and the recipient onto the document so a later profile edit cannot rewrite it, copies every charge as a printed line, and derives the per-rate tax bands from the charges’ own tax_application rows. Accepts two folio states. A closed folio at zero balance is the settled stay: nothing is due. An open folio already transferred to a company’s A/R account (settle_folio_to_ar marks and links it but moves no money) is the billed stay: the balance becomes amount_due, the folio’s due_at becomes due_on, and issuing SEALS the folio as it goes — which is the only place this verb writes folio state, and why a company’s document can be issued at all. Refuses an open folio with no A/R transfer, a void or house folio, a folio whose uncredited invoice already exists, a folio with no charges, a property with no billing_identity, a recipient that cannot be resolved, and — above the property’s simplified-invoice threshold — a recipient without a name, city, postcode and country. Below that threshold the recipient’s details may be omitted (UK £250 under reg 16A, Germany €250 under §33 UStDV), but never for a company: the point of their document is input-tax recovery. preview_invoice answers all of the above without allocating anything, so the desk can disable its own button and say why.

Effects: create hospitality.invoice; link hospitality.link.invoice_for_folio; link hospitality.link.invoice_credits_invoice; link hospitality.link.invoice_billed_to_person; link hospitality.link.invoice_billed_to_company; modify hospitality.folio.

object
branch

Apply against an open branch’s overlay view instead of the canonical (main) plane. The action’s writes land in the branch’s copy-on-first-write overlay, its events in the branch’s own stream, and the invocation is journaled for merge-by-replay. Branch writes are action-only, so this is the write-side entry point to a branch (POST /v1/branches forks one).

return_modified

When true, the response carries modified_objects and modified_links projections — the engine reads the event log inside the same transaction so the projection observes the handler’s own writes.

Per-invocation correlation id; matches events.correlation_id for every event this action appended.
