How to resend an e-invoice after a technical error?
Short answer
Before retries, find out the result of the first attempt. Technically repeating the same message is not the same as correcting an already delivered invoice.
Find out first
Do not blindly resend the document without confirming the status of the first attempt.
Technical retro
Idempotence, Message ID and deduplication are technical rules of the provider, not a substitute for an accounting decision.
Not an ordinary retro anymore
When the document is delivered, a correction document linked to the original invoice will be used.
Don't make up a rule
The exact procedure for a technically rejected, undelivered document must be confirmed by the provider's status and documentation.
Conclusion
Retry is a repetition of a technical attempt, not a method of correcting accounting content. After delivery, the content is changed by a correction document; if the status is unclear or rejected, first follow the confirmed status and the rules of the provider.
