There is no request body. If it fails again the response is a `422` `kra_rejected`. Required scope: `sales:write`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi/etims.json post /v1/sales/{id}/retry openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Sync2Books Compliance API (eTIMS) version: 1.0.0 description: >- Register items, issue sales and credit notes, record stock and read supplier invoices for a Kenyan business, with every fiscal document signed by KRA eTIMS. Authenticate with an API key from the compliance dashboard, sent in the `x-api-key` header or as a bearer token. A `cmp_sk_test_...` key acts on sandbox businesses and a `cmp_sk_live_...` key on production ones; both use the same base URL. New here? Start with the [eTIMS quickstart](/etims-quickstart). The conventions every endpoint shares are in [Authentication & API keys](/etims-authentication), [Errors & Troubleshooting](/etims-errors), [Idempotency](/etims-idempotency) and [Rate limits](/etims-rate-limits). This is a separate product from the [Accounting API](/api-reference), with its own keys. servers: - url: https://sync2books-compliance-api.apps.kintro.money description: >- Sync2Books Compliance API.
