# completeAppointment

mutation · in the family [Selling](/reference/selling/)

## What it does

Complete an in-progress appointment — optionally linking the billing order at the last legal moment.

Complete an in-progress Appointment: the optional orderId LINKS the billing order at the last legal moment (completed is immutable) — it must be an in-tenant non-doomed-class Order (CONFLICT/REF_STATE else); auto-minting an order line is a named growth. Requires the unrestricted capability + the record's CURRENT revision.

## What happens

Completed appointments are immutable history; the slot frees.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Selling** — Ringing sales, serving customers and issuing invoices.

- Owner
- Manager
- Associate Manager
- Sales Associate
- Cashier
- An API key whose scope allows `api:completeAppointment`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `input` | [CompleteAppointmentInput](/types/CompleteAppointmentInput/) `CompleteAppointmentInput!` | yes | No further notes. |

## Returns

[Appointment](/types/Appointment/) `Appointment!` — An Appointment — a booking of 1..8 SchedulableResources at an LF for a time window: a service-type product sale (purpose service — variantId REQUIRED, the styleType walk gates it) OR an order pickup (purpose pickup — orderId REQUIRED, the order being collected). The ratified lifecycle VERBATIM: confirm reserves capacity (the RESBOOK calendar rows; the gate is CAPACITY-ONLY — CONFLICT/DOUBLE_BOOKED unless the appointment.overbook_allowed policy admits); no_show fires from the scheduler ONLY (noShowAt = startAt + the appointment.no_show_window_minutes policy, stamped at confirm — NO caller op); rescheduled = a DOOMED terminal superseded by the linked successor (born requested — ITS confirm re-runs the capacity gate); completed may LINK an order for billing (the complete-time orderId — auto-minting a line is a named growth). durationMinutes ≤ 1440 (24h — the overlap-lookback bound). The create-time gates: appointment.lead_time_minutes + appointment.max_advance_days.
