CORRECTIVE_OUT_OF_TIME

When it happens

The four-year period to issue a corrective has ended. It counts from the original's operation date (its operation_date, or its issue_date when it has none) or, for a cause of article 80 of the VAT Act, from the circumstance_date sent. error.details carries deadline and counted_from.

How to fix it

If the cause is one of article 80 and it happened later, send its circumstance_date. Otherwise the invoice can no longer be corrected.

Retry

Do not retry. The outcome is final: sending the same request again gets the same answer.
