Explanation

Refunds can only be created on SalesInvoice records. This error indicates that the document you attempted to refund was not a SalesInvoice.

The refund API cannot correctly determine amounts for a refund on a PurchaseInvoice or a ReturnInvoice. Because those document types are defined by the seller, the seller would have to provide you information on what information those documents contain.
