Invoice

Invoice is the core billing document entity in Well, representing receivable and payable documents (commercial invoices, credit notes, purchase orders, receipts, and related document types) extracted from uploaded files or ingested via connector syncs. It links two Company parties (issuer and receiver) within a Workspace, carries multi-currency financial totals with FX normalization, and tracks both a lifecycle status (draft → issued → paid → canceled) and an orthogonal payment dimension (payment_status) owned exclusively by the recompute service. Key associations include the source Document, line-item InvoiceItems, matched bank transactions via InvoiceTransaction pivot rows, payment instruments via InvoicePaymentMeans, and the originating WorkspaceConnector for provenance.

Relationships

Name	Type	Required	Description
issuer	to-one (company)	⚪ No (nullable)	The Company that issued (sent) this invoice — typically the vendor or service provider. Index: idx_invoices_issuer. Used as a hot-path FK rewrite target during company-merge operations.
receiver	to-one (company)	⚪ No (nullable)	The Company that received (was billed by) this invoice — typically the workspace’s own company for payables, or the customer for receivables. Index: idx_invoices_receiver. Also a hot-path FK rewrite target during company-merge.
document	to-one (document)	⚪ No (nullable)	The source Document from which this invoice was extracted (contains the original file, filename, and organisation/partner slugs). Indexed jointly with deleted_at via idx_invoices_document_deleted.
workspace	to-one (workspace)	⚪ No (nullable)	Tenant boundary. Every active invoice belongs to exactly one Workspace. Partial indexes for active-row listing and source-connector listing both scope to workspace_pk.
source_workspace_connector	to-one (workspace_connector)	⚪ No (nullable)	The WorkspaceConnector instance that ingested this invoice, when it was created via a connector sync. Null for manually uploaded or email-extracted invoices. Partial index idx_invoices_workspace_source_connector_active covers (workspace_pk, source_workspace_connector_pk) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL.
exchange_rate	to-one (exchange_rate)	⚪ No (nullable)	FK-normalised ExchangeRate row used for multi-currency conversion. Carries rate, source_currency, target_currency, rate_date, and source. Used by the composite_fx_rate cell renderer and by accounting_* total computation.
subscription	to-one (subscription)	⚪ No (nullable)	Optional link to a Subscription record when the invoice was generated from a recurring subscription context.
invoice_items	to-many (invoice_item)	—	Line items (InvoiceItem) belonging to this invoice. Contains per-line quantity, unit price, description, and tax rates. Owned by the invoice — cascade-deleted when the invoice is hard-deleted.
invoice_transactions	to-many (invoice_transaction)	—	Pivot rows (InvoiceTransaction) linking this invoice to matched bank transactions. Written by the reconciliation / payment-recompute service. The existence and amounts of these rows drive paid_amount and balance_due.
payment_means	to-many (invoice_payment_means)	—	Payment instrument links (InvoicePaymentMeans) associating bank account / payment method information stated on the invoice (e.g. IBAN to pay to).
invoice_workspace_connectors	to-many (invoice_workspace_connector)	—	Connector provenance pivot rows (InvoiceWorkspaceConnector) recording which WorkspaceConnector instances have touched or are aware of this invoice. Used for deduplication and cross-connector identity resolution.

System-computed

invoice_id is generated automatically at insert by Postgres via defaultRaw: gen_random_uuid(). It is immutable after creation.
created_at is set once on INSERT via MikroORM onCreate: () => new Date() lifecycle hook.
updated_at is set on both INSERT and UPDATE via onCreate + onUpdate: () => new Date() lifecycle hooks. It is declared optional in the entity (updated_at?: Date) and may be absent on rows that have never been modified after creation.
deleted_at is null on creation and is set to a Date value by soft-delete logic. All active-row queries must predicate on deleted_at IS NULL. No hard delete should be issued directly.
payment_status (and paid_amount, balance_due, last_payment_allocation_date, override_version) are owned exclusively by the payment-recompute service. Application code and API clients must treat these as read-only. override_version is an optimistic concurrency counter incremented on every recompute write.
shadow_from_receipt defaults to false. It is set to true only by the mapReceiptToShadowFlat (R1) pipeline when synthesizing an invoice row from a payment_receipt document.
accounting_grand_total, accounting_items_total, accounting_tax_total, and accounting_currency are written by the invoice FX matching service (fx-rate.service.ts + invoice.service.ts) when the invoice local_currency differs from the workspace accounting currency.
source_workspace_connector (sourceWorkspaceConnector) is set at creation time when the invoice is ingested through a connector sync; it remains null for manually uploaded or email-extracted invoices.
Fields decorated with @Enrichable (issue_date, grand_total, local_currency, reference_number, terms, items_total, tax_total, description, invoice_number, due_date) are eligible for AI enrichment via the enrichment pipeline workers.
Partial index idx_invoices_workspace_invoice_number_active enforces uniqueness of (workspace_pk, invoice_number) among non-deleted rows where invoice_number IS NOT NULL, enabling efficient deduplication on import.
Partial index idx_invoices_workspace_source_connector_active on (workspace_pk, source_workspace_connector_pk) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL supports efficient tenant + connector listing queries.
Partial index idx_invoices_workspace_created_active on (workspace_pk, created_at DESC) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL mirrors the records-page default sort order to avoid full-table scans.
