  title: FileXpress External API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    API for integrating third-party systems with FileXpress: billing, HR,
    accounting, inventory, projects, accounts receivable and payable, treasury,
    pricing and promotions, and cash. Current base URL: /api/external/v1. The
    legacy unversioned path (/api/external) will be removed on January 1, 2027;
    migrate to /api/external/v1 (same endpoints, only the base URL changes). The
    v2 API (/api/external/v2) exposes currencies and exchange rates, sales and
    purchases in foreign currency, taxes by id, payrolls with branch, and errors
    with a stable `code`; its operations carry the /v2 prefix in the path. We
    suggest migrating to the available v2 routes before March 30, 2027.
