When it happens
The exchange invoice is recorded with VeriFactu as F3, which only replaces simplified invoices the AEAT has accepted, and the record of one of simplified_invoice_ids is still pending. Nothing is issued.
How to fix it
Wait until that simplified invoice's record is accepted (verifactu.submission_status reads ACCEPTED, or the verifactu.status.updated webhook tells you), then send the exchange again.
Retry
Retry the same request unchanged, with the same Idempotency-Key if you sent one. Wait first, and honour the Retry-After header when the response carries it.
