When it happens

A recipient-data corrective (PARTIAL, R4, no lines) names a customer other than the one the invoice went to. It corrects the data of the same recipient; an invoice issued to another person is not a data error.

How to fix it

Correct the invoice in full with a TOTAL corrective and issue a new invoice to the right customer. To fix the data of the same customer, send its customer_id once the customer is updated.

Retry

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