When it happens

R2 (insolvency) or R3 (bad debt) was used with a recipient not established in Spain, the Canary Islands, Ceuta or Melilla. The base is only reduced for those causes with such a recipient; R2 also accepts a recipient in another EU member state, for insolvency proceedings there.

How to fix it

Use the code of the real cause of the correction, or do not issue the corrective.
