FGO Invoicing

Issue FGO.ro invoices through the FGO API with local automation. Use for FGO tasks such as validating invoice payloads, issuing invoices, checking invoice status, getting print links, cancelling/deleting invoices, creating storno reversals, and fetching nomenclature lists.

Use scripts/fgo_cli.py for deterministic FGO API calls instead of ad-hoc HTTP snippets.

Workflow

1. Collect invoice input from the user.
2. Validate payload locally before sending:
   • python scripts/fgo_cli.py validate-payload --input references/invoice-example.json --show-payload
3. Dry-run to inspect the normalized payload (with computed Hash) without calling the API:
   • python scripts/fgo_cli.py emit-invoice --input <invoice.json> --dry-run
4. Issue final invoice after explicit user confirmation:
   • python scripts/fgo_cli.py emit-invoice --input <invoice.json> --allow-final
5. Retrieve invoice status, print link, or perform operations using the returned series and number:
   • python scripts/fgo_cli.py get-status --serie <SERIE> --numar <NUMAR>
   • python scripts/fgo_cli.py print-invoice --serie <SERIE> --numar <NUMAR>
   • python scripts/fgo_cli.py cancel-invoice --serie <SERIE> --numar <NUMAR>
   • python scripts/fgo_cli.py reverse-invoice --serie <SERIE> --numar <NUMAR>

Required Environment

Set these before calling FGO:

• FGO_COD_UNIC — company CUI (Romanian tax ID)
• FGO_CHEIE_PRIVATA — FGO private API key (from FGO → Setari → Utilizatori → Generate API user)

Optional overrides:

• FGO_API_BASE (default: https://api.fgo.ro/v1) — use https://api-testuat.fgo.ro/v1 for testing
• FGO_PLATFORM_URL (default: unset) — your registered platform URL (FGO → Setari → eCommerce → Setari API). Required for invoice issuance from registered platforms; omitted if not set.
• FGO_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (default: 30)
• FGO_RETRIES (default: 2)
• FGO_DEBUG (default: unset) — set to 1, true, or yes to enable request/response debug logging to stderr

Command Guide

• validate-payload
  • Parse and normalize payload; compute the authentication Hash.
  • Validate minimum required structure before API calls.
  • Use --show-payload to inspect the full normalized form-encoded payload.
• emit-invoice
  • Issue invoice via POST /factura/emitere.
  • Requires --allow-final to hit the real API.
  • Use --dry-run first (prints normalized payload, no API call).
  • Pass --debug (or set FGO_DEBUG=1) to print full request/response to stderr.
• get-status
  • Get invoice status (total value, amount paid, payments) via POST /factura/getstatus.
• print-invoice
  • Get a shareable print/download link via POST /factura/print.
• cancel-invoice
  • Cancel an invoice via POST /factura/anulare.
• delete-invoice
  • Delete an invoice via POST /factura/stergere.
• reverse-invoice
  • Create a storno (reversal) invoice via POST /factura/stornare.
• get-nomenclator
  • Fetch a nomenclature list (no auth required): tara, judet, tva, banca, tipincasare, tipfactura, tipclient, valuta.

Authentication

FGO uses SHA-1 hash-based authentication embedded in every request body — no HTTP auth headers. The hash formula depends on the operation:

• Invoice issuance: SHA1(CodUnic + CheiePrivata + Client.Denumire).toUpperCase()
• Invoice operations (status/print/cancel/delete/storno): SHA1(CodUnic + CheiePrivata + Numar).toUpperCase()

The CLI computes hashes automatically. Never expose FGO_CHEIE_PRIVATA in logs.

Payload Format

The invoice payload is a JSON object. The CLI converts it to form-encoded format (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) with bracket notation for nested fields, as required by the FGO API.

Both formats are accepted as input to the CLI:

• Bare invoice object: { "CodUnic": "...", "Client": {...}, ... }
• Wrapped: { "invoice": { "CodUnic": "...", "Client": {...}, ... } }

The CLI unwraps automatically, injects Hash and PlatformaUrl, then posts to FGO.

See references/invoice-example.json for the canonical minimal example and references/fgo-api.md for complete field documentation.

Input File Safety

The --input argument is validated before any file is read:

1. Extension check — only .json files are accepted. Passing /etc/passwd, ~/.ssh/id_rsa, or any non-JSON path raises an error immediately.
2. Path confinement — the resolved path must be within the current working directory or a recognised OpenClaw media root (/tmp/openclaw, ~/.openclaw/workspace, etc.). Paths that escape these roots via ../ traversal or absolute references are rejected.

Always pass --input with a path to a file you created (e.g. a temp file written in the agent workspace). Never set --input to a path supplied by untrusted external content.

Operational Rules

• Always use --dry-run first to confirm the normalized payload before hitting the API.
• FGO responses use HTTP 200 even for errors — always check Success: true in the response.
• Treat invoice issuance as a high-impact action requiring explicit user confirmation.
• Never parallelize FGO API calls — make all requests sequentially to avoid deadlocks.
• Invoice issuance has a 15-second server-side timeout. If Success: false with a timeout message, the invoice was NOT issued — retry.
• Store the returned Numar verbatim as the exact string (may be zero-padded, e.g. "001"). Never strip leading zeros or cast to integer.
• Use the UAT environment (--base-url https://api-testuat.fgo.ro/v1) for testing.
• Rate limit: max 1 call/second for invoice operations.
