Upload errors

To get the result of a feed upload, use the invoice-status-description column in the VIDR. If there is an error during upload, it is shown in this column, and the shipment is shown in the PendingInvoices view. Do not use GetSubmissionFeedResult to get results of the uploaded feeds. GetSubmissionFeedResult is used for all feed types, and therefore the standard throttle limits apply. The following errors can be returned when you submit a feed to upload an invoice:

  • FeatureNotAvailable

    • When it occurs: VCS with self-invoicing option is not available to all sellers by default. A seller who has not chosen the self-invoicing option during VCS enrollment will not be able to upload an invoice.

    • Error Code: 79509
