X-Idempotency-Key is HONORED (KAN-1302), through the shared idempotency store. A redelivery of the same key for the same bill and occurrenceDate replays the recorded envelope byte for byte — including its original 201 on a first insert — and posts nothing a second time; the same key carrying a different occurrenceDate, or aimed at a different bill, is refused 409 IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT. The key is fingerprinted over {billId, occurrenceDate, amountCents, settleOnly} (KAN-3604), where amountCents and settleOnly are included ONLY when present (settleOnly only when true), so a request without them fingerprints exactly as before and the same key carrying a different amountCents is 409 IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT. settleAgainstTransactionId and postWithoutSettling are excluded so that the documented attempt -> 409 BILL_PENDING_MATCH_UNCONFIRMED -> re-issue-the-same-key-with-the-token flow completes rather than conflicting. With no amountCents, a newly posted row carries the occurrence’s effective amount (declaration, else forecast override, else series). The key is optional — an unkeyed request behaves exactly as before — but the write is NOT convergent without one, so a client that retries should always send it.

X-Idempotency-Key
string

Optional idempotency key for safe write retries. Every operation that declares this header reads it. Three cases, told apart per operation: (1) where the operation also documents a 409 whose codes include IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT, replaying this key with a different payload returns 409 IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT and replaying it with the same payload returns the original response; (2) where it documents no 409, a replay is reconciled optimistically against a unique key column and answers the original 200; (3) where it documents a 409 whose codes do NOT include IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT, a conflict on this key is impossible — a replay answers a 200, and that 409 is a resource-state conflict described by the operation’s own 409 schema.

string
settleAgainstTransactionId

Confirms settling this occurrence against an already-matched bank row — normally details.pendingMatch.transactionId from this route’s own 409. Re-issue the SAME X-Idempotency-Key with it: the fingerprint deliberately excludes this field.

string format: uuid
nullable
confirmPendingMatchTransactionId

Legacy alias for settleAgainstTransactionId. Prefer the live name.

string format: uuid
nullable
postWithoutSettling

The user’s “none of these” answer to this route’s 409 BILL_MATCH_AMBIGUOUS (KAN-2396): post the occurrence as its own register row. Must be a boolean; cannot be combined with settleAgainstTransactionId or with settleOnly:true. Excluded from the idempotency fingerprint.

boolean
amountCents

OPTIONAL amount to post, as a POSITIVE MAGNITUDE in integer minor units (KAN-3604) — the sign is re-derived from the bill’s direction by the server. Used ONLY when the occurrence posts as a new register row; every settle-against-an-existing-bank-row path ignores it and keeps the bank row’s amount. When omitted, the server posts the occurrence’s EFFECTIVE amount: its declaration amount, else its forecast override, else the series amount. 0, a negative, a non-integer, a non-number, null or an unsafe integer is a 400. Part of the idempotency fingerprint when present.

integer format: int64
>= 1
settleOnly

OPTIONAL (KAN-3604). true means “claim the bank row named by settleAgainstTransactionId, or do nothing” — the call NEVER inserts a register row. Requires settleAgainstTransactionId and cannot be combined with postWithoutSettling:true (both 400). When the named row can no longer be claimed the call answers 409 BILL_SETTLE_TARGET_UNAVAILABLE with zero writes. Part of the idempotency fingerprint only when true.

KAN-3748. The per-bill Auto-enter setting: automatic (the default) — a payment the server finds for this bill is entered unattended, with a bills.auto_entered notification; ask_first — the payment is offered for the household to confirm and never entered unattended. Emitted on every bill row.

ScheduledMark ? its scheduledPaymentDate : this row’s own nextDueDate. NULLABLE here, unlike the per-occurrence surfaces: it mirrors nextDueDate, and an exhausted, settled or paused schedule has no occurrence and therefore no effective date for one.

string
nullable
effectiveAmountCents

SIGNED (income +, expense −), server-computed as declaration → forecast → schedule. Equals the schedule’s own signed amount when no override is present. Never re-derive a sign on the client.

integer format: int64
forecastDate

The FORECAST-ONLY date override on the nextDueDate occurrence (a Cash Flow “this occurrence only” edit), or null (KAN-2926/KAN-3364). Null whenever nextDueDate is null. Outranked by scheduledMark when both are present; already folded into effectiveDueDate.

string
nullable
forecastAmountCents

The FORECAST-ONLY amount override on the nextDueDate occurrence, as the POSITIVE MAGNITUDE it is stored as, or null (KAN-2926/KAN-3364). The signed figure is effectiveAmountCents; amountCents stays the series amount. Outranked by scheduledMark when both are present.

integer format: int64
nullable
skipped

“Do not count this one” on the nextDueDate occurrence (KAN-2913/KAN-3364). False whenever nextDueDate is null. Presentation only on this surface — it moves no figure in summary and is not POST /bills/{id}/skip: no cursor moves.

boolean
outOfBandMatch

KAN-2868 — the TIER-2 “Payment found” offer the matching engine makes for the nextDueDate occurrence: the same object GET /bills/scheduled emits on that occurrence. Explicit null when nextDueDate is null, the bill has no account, nothing is offered, or the match scan failed. Presentation only: it does NOT widen occurrenceStatus (payment_pending still means a pending match), settles nothing and moves no figure in summary. Older servers omit the key.

Validation failed — see errorCode / fieldErrors. VALIDATION_ERROR or BILL_OCCURRENCE_NOT_OUTSTANDING: the occurrence is not (or no longer) outstanding. BILL_EARLIER_OCCURRENCE_OUTSTANDING (KAN-3762): an EARLIER original-date occurrence of this bill in [cursor, occurrenceDate) is still outstanding and not exception-skipped, so this write would carry the cursor past an unpaid occurrence — fixed message ‘Enter or skip the earlier bill first.’, details.earliestOutstandingDate, no fieldErrors. ZERO writes; an idempotent replay of an earlier successful key is answered first, and the refused key is released (never poisoned). Never raised for a bill with a NULL cursor; GET /bills/scheduled exposes the same rule as enterBlockedByDate.

Authenticated, but the tenant gate refuses the request until the caller resolves a precondition. errorCode is one of EMAIL_NOT_VERIFIED, POLICY_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED, or SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED, evaluated in exactly that order (contract term CCR-1: email verification first, then policy acceptance, then subscription — so a subscriber who has merely not re-accepted the current policies always sees POLICY_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED). A POLICY_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED body additionally carries details.outstanding (the policy versions still to accept) and details.firstAcceptance. The SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED arm is INERT unless the server-side BILLING_ENABLED flag is exactly the string true; while it is off, only the first two codes are reachable. Not retryable as sent — resolve the named condition, then resend.

Service temporarily unavailable — errorCode is SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE. A TRANSIENT, RETRYABLE condition rather than a defect in the request: a query that exceeded its time budget, a lost or refused database connection, a saturated connection pool, or an outage at an upstream provider the request depends on (the authentication provider, or the bank data provider on a bank-connection operation). The identical request may succeed on retry — back off briefly and, on a write, resend the same X-Idempotency-Key where the operation accepts one.
