# receivable_state_conflict

> Receivable state conflict (HTTP 409).

| Field          | Value                                                           |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Status         | `409`                                                           |
| Problem `type` | `https://docs.paypathiq.com/problems/receivable_state_conflict` |
| Retryable      | No                                                              |

## When this happens

The request conflicts with the Receivable's current state:

* A Receivable `PUT` or `PATCH` replaces the responsible Customers of a closed Receivable.
* A Payment observation would move PayPathIQ's balance for the Receivable in the opposite direction to its type. For example, a `payment` that would increase the balance.

## What to do

To change responsible Customers, reopen the Receivable with the `reopen` command first. For a Payment observation, `GET` the Receivable and check `recoverableAmount` before you record it again. If the error persists, contact [help@paypathiq.com](mailto:help@paypathiq.com) with the `requestId`.
