Credit Memo Api Post method issue
Nitin Bande
We are trying to create a Credit Memo but keeps getting a below error.
Status Code: 400.
You cannot apply 0 or a negative amount to an invoice balance.invoice_id: 0; amount_to_apply: 0. invoice_id: 0; amount_to_apply: 0.
I am able to create a credit memo but then it does not get applied to invoices.
Can you please help us in this issue.

Hi Nitin,
From this little bit of information, it looks like you're trying to provide id 0 and amount 0 when creating the credit memo.
Are you supplying the full credit memo contract and expecting an invoice_id of 0 to just inherently not try to apply to anything? We explicitly throw that error if any application info is sent with a zero amount or less. If you want to achieve quick success here, what happens when you set the application data to null?
Thanks!

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more details.

Hi Nitin,
We have identified an issue in the CreateCreditMemo request example object where
invoice_applications
was erroneously labeled
invoices
. The documentation has been updated with an accurate
invoice_applications
example. Also looking at the request payloads you sent, you're sending
credit_memo_amount_applied
rather than
credit_memo_amount_to_apply
. That request should be updated. Hope this helps!
