Unable to Download Invoices via API – Code 57 Authorization Error

Unable to Download Invoices via API – Code 57 Authorization Error

 I’m integrating the Zoho Billing API with the scopes ZohoInvoice.invoices.CREATE,ZohoInvoice.invoices.READ. I’ve completed the OAuth2 flow successfully, including generating the auth code, access token, and refresh token. All tokens are valid and fresh. However, when I attempt to download all invoices as a CSV file using Postman, I receive the following error: {"code": 57, "message": "You are not authorized to perform this operation"}. I’ve double-checked that I’m using the correct organization ID and making the request to the correct Zoho Billing endpoint. I also have admin rights on my Zoho account, so I believe permissions shouldn’t be an issue. Could this be a scope mismatch, or is there an additional permission or API configuration needed to perform this operation? Any help would be appreciated.

As an admin who relies on seeing all scheduled reports being sent, this is a terrible update. Now I cannot see ANY scheduled reports...even the ones I am being sent!!  This should be a setting for admins to control.  This is a bad update.

We currently have three names for one item, all have had a transaction associated so there is no deleting (just deactivating, which doesn't really help. It still appears so people are continuing to use it). I also can't assign inventory tracking to items used in past transactions, which I don't understand, this is an important feature moving forward.. It would be nice to merge into one item and be able to track inventory. Let me know if this is possible.
