Invoicing API

I am using rest api invoicing v2, I obtained token and trying to create invoice draft through API. I am getting the following error response:

 

"name":"UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY","message":"The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.","debug_id":"xxxxxxxx","details":[{"issue":"USER_NOT_FOUND","description":"User is not associated with paypal based on invoicer email."}],"links":[{"href":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/invoicing/#errors","method":"GET"}]}

 

Can someone help understand this msg?  What does this mean?  Is user the one who sending email or who is receiving? How do I check users?  Should  user who is receiving invoice, be in the paypal systems ? if yes how do I enter or check?   I verified invoicer name/ email and it is correct. 

 

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, but FYI, "invoicer" is the one sending the invoice.

I got the same error message while sending the invoice API. I created the draft invoice using the API. But when I trying to send this invoice got error as below:

{
"name": "UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY",
"message": "The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.",
"debug_id": "6c10b6f33a4d1",
"details": [
{
"issue": "USER_NOT_FOUND",
"description": "User is not associated with paypal based on invoicer email."
}
],
"links": [
{
"href": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/invoicing/#errors",
"method": "GET"
}
]
}

So Kindly let us know Whats wrong with sandbox account. I even changed the email many times but still got same error.
Thanks
