CORRECTIVE_EXCEEDS_INVOICED_AMOUNT

When it happens

A PARTIAL corrective would take the taxable base of one rate (tax, rate and equivalence surcharge; SUPLIDO lines by their amount) below zero once the previous correctives against the same original are counted. A corrective cannot rectify more than was invoiced. error.details carries tax_group (for example IVA 21%) and max_reduction, what is left of that rate.

How to fix it

Reduce the negative lines of that rate to at most max_reduction. To rectify everything that is left, send a TOTAL corrective.

Retry

Not as is: the same request fails the same way. Fix the cause described above, then send the request again, under a new Idempotency-Key if the body changed.
