# Send the report now

`POST /businesses/{bid}/accountant-report/send`

Requires the `businesses` scope.

Sends the same letter the schedule sends, for a period you name (default: the last closed one). A period already mailed is skipped with `sent: false, reason: "already_sent"` unless `force` is true. Owner only.

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `bid` | string | **required** | Business id, from `POST /businesses`. |

## Body

| Field | Type | | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `period` | string |  | `YYYY-MM` (a month), `YYYY-Bn` (a bi-monthly pair, B1 = Jan-Feb) or `YYYY` (a year). Default: the last closed period of the schedule's frequency. |
| `force` | boolean |  | Send even if this period was already mailed. Default true. |

## Response

`200`: `{ "ok": true, … }`

| Field | Type | | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ok` | boolean | **required** |  |
| `sent` | boolean | **required** | Whether a letter went out. |
| `period` | object |  | The window that was reported. |
| `to` | array of string |  |  |
| `attachments` | array of string |  |  |

Errors: `400`, `401`, `403`, `404`, `429`. Every failure answers `{ "error", "reason", "hint", "param", "doc_url", "retryable", "request_id" }`: branch on `reason`, and read `hint` for what to change (https://docs.billos.co.il/errors.md).
