Cause

Software related issue APSA-23570 "Azure NCE create_invoice task failed".

One of the invoices contained zero usage and "invoiceDate" value was in the future from the "last_invoiced_month" value

[{"last_invoiced_month":"2021-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"aps":{"modified":"2021-04-15T05:03:18Z","id":"0d08f49a-8bae-4e9c-b83c-06461320c098","subscription":"cd886a6d-a13d-427f-be72-808485925bf5","type":"http://www.odin.com/app/azure-csp-modern/subscription/1.3","status":"aps:ready","revision":126}}]

As a result, invoices were filtered out by the application.


Resolution

The issue has been fixed in Azure NCE 1.6. Please consider the application upgrade accordingly.
