CORRECTIVE_RECIPIENT_UNCHANGED

When it happens

A recipient-data corrective carries the same name, tax ID and address the invoice already recorded: there is nothing to correct.

How to fix it

Update the customer (or the inline data you send) with the corrected data first, then retry.

Retry

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