VOID_REQUIRES_ISSUED_IN_ERROR

This invoice has already been sent or paid: it is only voided if it was issued by mistake (the operation did not take place, it is a duplicate, or it carries a withholding that should not have been applied). Confirm it with issued_in_error; if the operation took place, correct it with a corrective invoice.

When it happens

The invoice was already sent or paid, and the void request does not confirm it was issued by mistake. A void is only for an invoice that should not exist: the operation never took place, it was a test, or it is an accidental duplicate.

How to fix it

If it was issued by mistake, send issued_in_error: true. If the operation took place and the invoice is wrong, issue a corrective invoice instead.

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.
