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 was rejected, so that invoice is not on file with the AEAT. Nothing is issued.
How to fix it
Fix or resubmit that simplified invoice first, and exchange it once the AEAT accepts its record.
Retry
