Every field is optional and is merged over the stored row; the EFFECTIVE value of a field is body.field ?? stored.field.

CONVERTING BETWEEN ONE-TIME AND RECURRING is supported in both directions: an edit whose effective frequency crosses the once boundary is normalized server-side rather than refused. The response body is post-conversion and authoritative — re-seed the client from it rather than re-deriving the schedule.

ANCHOR PRECEDENCE on one-time -> recurring: an anchor key PRESENT in the body always wins. An anchor still absent after the merge is DERIVED from the effective start date — monthly/quarterly take its day of month (29/30/31 is kept unclamped; the generator clamps to each month’s real last day), weekly takes its day of week, annually takes its 0-based month plus day of month, biweekly needs none (it anchors on startDate), and twice-monthly derives NOTHING — supply dayOfMonth and a differing day2 or the usual per-field 400 applies.

DATES ON A CONVERSION are server-owned, so startDate is accepted but constrained per arm: freely editable when converting an UNSETTLED one-time item to recurring (it becomes the first occurrence, and nextPaymentDate is rewritten to it); must equal the stored value when converting a SETTLED one-time item to recurring (which preserves the start date and the settle cursor and touches no posted payment) — otherwise 400 fieldErrors.startDate; and must equal the stored value when converting recurring -> one-time, where the surviving occurrence is the PRE-EDIT schedule’s next due date and the response startDate is that survivor. Recurring -> one-time also permanently clears the end condition (endType/endCount/endDate become never/null/null), all four anchors, and every “marked scheduled” declaration on the bill; editing the item back does not restore them. A recurring schedule with no occurrence left at or after its cursor converts to an already-settled one-time item.

FIRST PAYMENT ON A RECURRING BILL (KAN-963): startDate is compared by value. Once the bill’s scheduleStarted is true (an occurrence entered or skipped), a different value is refused with 400 fieldErrors.startDate. While it is false, a changed startDate or a changed cadence shape re-seeds the next payment to the new start date, unless the same request sends nextPaymentDate.

nextPaymentDate is evaluated against the EFFECTIVE frequency: it is refused outright whenever that frequency is once (edit startDate instead), and, when converting a SETTLED one-time item to recurring, refused when it would move the cursor before the occurrence that has already been entered.

Replaying X-Idempotency-Key with the identical body returns the recorded response and writes nothing; the same key with any changed field is 409 IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT.

id

string format: uuid

Bill id

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.

startDate

Calendar date, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’. Compared by VALUE — resending the stored date is never an edit. On a recurring bill whose scheduleStarted is true, a different value is refused (400, fieldErrors.startDate). On a recurring bill whose schedule has NOT started, a new value (or a cadence-shape change) re-seeds the next payment to the new start date unless the same request sends nextPaymentDate. On a conversion it must equal the stored start date except when converting an UNSETTLED one-time item to recurring.

destinationAccountId

Optional transfer counterparty account. PRESENCE-based, not falsiness-based: omit the key and the stored destination is left unchanged; send an explicit null to clear it; send a uuid to set it. Must resolve inside the caller’s own org and differ from the bill’s accountId — a malformed, foreign, unknown or self-referencing id all answer with the same destinationAccountId validation error, never a 404. A closed account is accepted.

string format: uuid
nullable
autoEnterMode

KAN-3748. The per-bill Auto-enter setting. PRESENCE-based: omit the key and the stored setting is left unchanged; a body carrying only this key is a valid edit. Any other value (null included — the column is NOT NULL) is a 400 naming autoEnterMode.

Server-computed (KAN-963): true once an occurrence of this schedule has been entered or skipped — any payment-history row, or the settle cursor past the first occurrence.

occurrenceStatus

Presentation metadata for the occurrence at nextDueDate, stamped on EVERY bill row. Meaningful only alongside a non-null nextDueDate — an exhausted, settled or paused schedule has no occurrence to be pending or late and carries the neutral upcoming, as does a next occurrence that is skipped (KAN-3365 — never rendered late).

destinationAccountId

Transfer counterparty account (the source stays accountId). Null when the bill declares none, in which case Safe to Spend keeps skipping a pooled transfer bill. Emitted on every bill row.

string format: uuid
nullable
autoEnterMode

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.

string

Calendar date, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’

string
amountCents

Integer minor units (cents)

integer format: int64
effectiveDueDate

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.

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.

Conflict. errorCode is IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT when an X-Idempotency-Key was replayed with a different request payload; where the operation instead detects a resource-state conflict it carries that endpoint’s own errorCode (a duplicate name, an import that is no longer committable, an account already linked to a bank connection).

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.
