Error message
Cannot revise transaction with a valid tax_identifier when the tax amount is higher than the grand total or tax is negative.

Common causes

  • A valid tax_identifier is being passed, but the transaction's tax amount is higher than the grand total.
  • A valid tax_identifier is being passed, but the transaction's tax amount is negative.
  • Revising a transaction with a valid tax_identifier would end in a tax refund that cannot be performed when tax amount is higher than the grand total.

Troubleshooting

  • Do not specify a new tax identifier.
  • Cancel the transaction and create a new one.
