# CreateSalesInvoice

## Permission Scope

## Overview

CreateSalesInvoice creates a draft customer invoice that references one sales order and one or more invoice lines. It captures the draft billing document before issue-time validation and snapshotting occur.

## Business Rules

- Referenced sales order must exist and belong to the same company as the invoice.
- At least one invoice line is required.
- Each invoice line must reference a valid sales-order line and a billed quantity greater than zero.
