INVALID_SURCHARGE

Invalid equivalence surcharge type: '‹value›'. Allowed values: ‹value›


Category: Invoices

HTTP status422 Unprocessable Content
RetryAfter fixing the cause

When it happens

The equivalence surcharge rate is not one of the rates BeeL. accepts. The message gives the value sent and the accepted ones. A product and an invoice line answer the same code.

How to fix it

Send the surcharge rate that goes with the line's VAT rate, or none.

Retry

Not as is: the same request fails the same way. Fix the cause described above, then send the request again, under a new Idempotency-Key if the body changed.
