INVOICE_NOT_CORRECTIBLE_IN_CURRENT_STATUS

When it happens

A corrective invoice can only be created from an issued invoice that is still in force: ISSUED, SENT, PAID or RECTIFIED. Drafts, scheduled invoices, proformas and VOIDED invoices cannot be corrected. A second TOTAL corrective lands here too: the first one left the original VOIDED.

How to fix it

Fetch the original invoice and check its status. A draft can simply be edited. If a TOTAL corrective already exists, there is nothing left to correct.

Retry

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