418: Payer, receiver or fiscal centre wrong

The usual cause

The administrative centres must carry the roles fiscal (01, the accounting office), receiving (02, the managing body) and paying (03, the processing unit); one is missing or has the wrong role.

How to fix it

Check the role of each administrative centre against the codes the public body gave and send the invoice again.
