    {
      "code": "InvalidDocumentStatusForRefund",
      "number": 700,
      "message": "Document is not in a status to process refund",

      "severity": "Error"
    }
  ]
}

Explanation

Only committed documents can be refunded.

This limitation exists because only committed documents are considered permanent. A document that is not committed has not been finalized and is considered incomplete.

You can only call the Refund API for a transaction that has been committed and is considered permanent.
