## Other responses

- `202`: Accepted; retrieve this operation until terminal.
- `400`: `parameter_unknown` with `subcode` `retired_active_profile_header`: the retired `X-Active-Profile` header was sent; the company goes in the path. `parameter_invalid_format` on `Factuarea-Version`: the header is not a `YYYY-MM-DD` date. `unsupported_api_version`: the `Factuarea-Version` date is not a supported version.
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key.
- `402`: The operation requires a payment that could not be completed: either no payment method is on file (`error.details.payment_setup_url` links to the Billing Portal where it can be set up), the immediate charge was declined by the payment provider, the account lacks the plan or add-on this operation bills against, the annual document limit is reached (`plan_limit_exceeded`, with `error.details.period_end` indicating the end of the period — wait until it has ended or upgrade the plan to continue now), or the account has reached its maximum usage (`storage_quota_exceeded`, raised by upload operations such as signing a delivery note or attaching a file to an expense — contact support before retrying). Nothing was created or modified — resolve the cause and retry the same request. Version note: `error.type` is `payment_required_error` from `Factuarea-Version: 2026-09-01` onwards; earlier versions receive `invalid_request_error` for the three codes that predate that cut (`payment_method_required`, `employee_seat_payment_method_required` and `employee_seat_charge_failed`; every other 402 code, such as `addon_required`, `plan_limit_exceeded` or the additional tax ID codes, is newer and always carries `payment_required_error`). `error.code` is stable across every version.
- `403`: The request is authenticated but not allowed: the API key lacks the required scope (`insufficient_scope`), the plan does not include the public API or this feature (`addon_not_active`, `feature_not_available_in_plan`), or the module is not available with a test key (`module_not_available_in_sandbox`).
- `404`: The requested resource does not exist or belongs to another company.
- `409`: The request conflicts with data that already exists or with a request running at the same time. `employee_batch_billing_state_conflict`: the current billing of the account does not allow completing the batch safely. `details.reason` is `offer_requires_chargeable_seats`, `fiscal_configuration` or `phase_incompatible`. Nothing was charged. `employee_batch_state_conflict` with `subcode` `employee_batch_missing_payment_proof`: the payment of this operation is not proven yet. Read its current state. `employee_batch_quote_changed`: the quote changed since the version you accepted (`param` `quote_version`). Refresh it and accept the current version. `employee_batch_state_conflict`: the batch is in a state that does not allow this action. Read its current state. `employee_seat_operation_in_progress`: another employee operation is pending. `details.operation_id` identifies it when known; read its state before starting another. `resource_conflict`: another request was reserving identifiers for the same kind of record at that moment and this one could not complete its reservation. Nothing was written; send the request again after a few seconds. `resource_already_exists` with `subcode` `external_id_already_exists`: an `external_id` of the batch is already used by an employee of the company. Nothing was charged or created. `employee_batch_idempotency_conflict`: the idempotency key of the body already identifies a different batch intention. Keep the current operation or prepare a new one with a new key.
- `422`: Validation failed. The `error.param` field identifies which input is invalid.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the duration in `Retry-After`.
- `500`: Unexpected server error.
- `503`: Reliable quote or gateway outcome unavailable. Retry only the same operation.
