When it happens
The line's exemption_reason (or its absence) is not one AEAT accepts with its regime key: 04 needs reverse charge or an exemption; 08 only NO_SUJETA_LOCALIZACION at 0 %; 10 only NO_SUJETA_ART_7_9; 11 no reverse charge; 07 no reverse charge, no not-subject reason and only EXENTA_ART_20 or OTRO as exemptions.
How to fix it
Change the regime key or the exemption_reason of the line so the pair is one AEAT accepts.
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.

REGIME_KEY_NOT_SUPPORTED
Regime key ‹value› is not available.

Key 03 requires the invoice not to show the tax separately (RD 1619/2012, art. 16.2.c), and the invoice always does. Use the key that fits the operation
