Series and Numbering

Every Peruvian electronic document is identified by a series and a correlative number, printed together as SERIES-NUMBER (e.g. FABC-12346). You send both on every request. Brinta does not assign them.

Brinta field	What it is	Format
`invoice_serie`	Series (Serie)	4 alphanumeric characters. The first letter depends on the document (table below).
`invoice_number`	Correlative number (Número correlativo)	1 to 8 digits, from `1` to `99999999`, without leading zeros.

Which letter the series starts with

Document	`document_type`	Series starts with	Examples
Factura (01)	`invoice`	`F`	`F001`, `FABC`
Boleta (03)	`ticket`	`B`	`B001`, `BABC`
Credit Note (07) on a factura	`credit note`	`F`	`F001`, `FC01`
Credit Note (07) on a boleta	`credit note`	`B`	`B001`, `BC01`
Debit Note (08) on a factura	`debit note`	`F`	`F001`, `FD01`
Debit Note (08) on a boleta	`debit note`	`B`	`B001`, `BD01`
Guía de Remisión (09)	`transport`	`T`	`T001`, `TDOC`

⚠️
A note follows the letter of the document it modifies
A credit or debit note on a factura uses an F series. A note on a boleta uses a B series. An F note can't modify a boleta, and a B note can't modify a factura.

Rules

Series per document type. Use a different series for each document type, so the factura correlative and the credit note correlative never collide. A note can use its own series (e.g. FC01) as long as it starts with the right letter.
Correlative per series. invoice_number starts at 1 for each series and goes up by one. The pair invoice_serie + invoice_number must be unique.
No leading zeros. Send "invoice_number": 12346, not "00012346".

Examples

"invoice_serie": "FABC",
"invoice_number": 12346

→ Factura FABC-12346

"invoice_serie": "BABC",
"invoice_number": 12345

→ Boleta BABC-12345

"document_type": "credit note",
"invoice_serie": "FAB1",
"invoice_number": 1

→ Credit note FAB1-1, modifying a factura.
