This reads it and changes nothing. A quote with no layer chosen reads `null`. The intended layer is stored on the quote apart from its fields, so [Get Entity](/api-reference/entities/get-entity) does not return it. Every quote starts with none: it is never copied from another quote, so a quote saved from a generated draft or copied in the app reads `null` until someone chooses. Binds do not check the intended layer yet: [Bind Quote](/api-reference/field-model-policy-transactions/bind-quote), [Check Bind Conditions](/api-reference/field-model-policy-validation/check-bind-conditions) and Complete behave the same whatever it says. Every quote type has one: new business, renewal, endorsement, cancellation and reinstatement. A bound or cancelled quote can still be read. With policy invoicing disabled, this returns `403 finv2-policy-invoicing-disabled`. **Required permission:** `quote.view` ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi/generated-external-api.yaml get /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/quotes/{quoteId}/intended-layer openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: AI Insurance External API description: External API for AI Insurance platform version: 1.0.0 contact: email: support@aiinsurance.io servers: - url: https://go.aiinsurance.io description: Production security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] paths: /api/v1/companies/{companyId}/quotes/{quoteId}/intended-layer: get: tags: - Policy Invoicing summary: Get Quote Intended Layer description: > **Quote door.** A quote's intended layer is the layer of the [pricing stack](/api-reference/invoicing/quote-invoicing#intended-layer) the quote is meant to bind at: `base`, `pricing`, `billing` or `invoicing`.

A layer is read from three things: the pricing (`fullTermPricingInfo`), the billing (`fullTermBillingInfo`) and the active policy invoices. `base` has no pricing, billing or invoices. `pricing` has pricing only. `billing` has pricing and billing, and no active invoices; a `fullTermBillingInfo` with no lines counts as billing. `invoicing` has pricing, billing and active invoices that add up to the billing. Billing that owes nothing needs no invoices, so a zero bill with no invoices sits at both `billing` and `invoicing`. responses: Unauthorized: description: Unauthorized - Invalid or missing API key content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ErrorResponse' examples: missingApiKey: summary: Missing API key value: error: code: AuthenticationError message: API key authentication required userMessages: - API key authentication required invalidApiKey: summary: >- Invalid API key (e.g. unknown key, or a Bearer token used instead of an API key) value: error: code: AuthenticationError message: Invalid API key userMessages: - Invalid API key ForbiddenQuoteInvoicing: description: > Forbidden. The API key lacks the endpoint's permission, or the company does not invoice (`finv2-policy-invoicing-disabled`): its policy invoicing is not turned on, or it is on while its Quote billing calculation is still `NO_BILLING()`. Support turns invoicing on; replacing `NO_BILLING()` is a configuration change ([Quote billing calculations](/api-reference/configuration/overview#quote-billing-calculations)).
