Invoicing API

[lwebzem]

I am using rest api invoicing v2, I obtained token and trying to create invoice draft through API. I am getting the following error response:

"name":"UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY","message":"The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.","debug_id":"xxxxxxxx","details":[{"issue":"USER_NOT_FOUND","description":"User is not associated with paypal based on invoicer email."}],"links":[{"href":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/invoicing/#errors","method":"GET"}]}

Can someone help understand this msg?  What does this mean?  Is user the one who sending email or who is receiving? How do I check users?  Should  user who is receiving invoice, be in the paypal systems ? if yes how do I enter or check?   I verified invoicer name/ email and it is correct. 

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, but FYI, "invoicer" is the one sending the invoice.

I got the same error message while sending the invoice API. I created the draft invoice using the API. But when I trying to send this invoice got error as below:

{
"name": "UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY",
"message": "The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.",
"debug_id": "6c10b6f33a4d1",
"details": [
{
"issue": "USER_NOT_FOUND",
"description": "User is not associated with paypal based on invoicer email."
}
],
"links": [
{
"href": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/invoicing/#errors",
"method": "GET"
}
]
}

So Kindly let us know Whats wrong with sandbox account. I even changed the email many times but still got same error.
Thanks

Hey Guys,

So, I had the wrong email in the invoice object on the create draft invoice request.

When you log into the developers page, go to apps and credentials, and select your app under rest api apps.

On that page, there is a section called Sandbox account info.  There is an email there.  

Take that email, and use that in your invoice object when you create the draft invoice.

That's what did it for me.

Hope this helps someone out there.
