TEF Codes

These codes indicate that the transaction failed and was not included in a ledger, but the transaction could have succeeded in some theoretical ledger. Typically this means that the transaction can no longer succeed in any future ledger. They have numerical values in the range of -199 to -100. The exact code for any given error is subject to change, so don't rely on it.

Caution: Transactions with tef codes are not applied to ledgers and cannot cause any changes to the Xahau state. However, a transaction that provisionally failed may still succeed or fail with a different code after being reapplied. For more information, see Finality of Results and Reliable Transaction Submission.

Code	Explanation
tefALREADY	The same exact transaction has already been applied.
tefBAD_ADD_AUTH	DEPRECATED.
tefBAD_AUTH	The key used to sign this account is not authorized to modify this account. (It could be authorized if the account had the same key set as the Regular Key.)
tefBAD_AUTH_MASTER	The single signature provided to authorize this transaction does not match the master key, but no regular key is associated with this address.
tefBAD_LEDGER	While processing the transaction, the ledger was discovered in an unexpected state. If you can reproduce this error, please report an issue to get it fixed.
tefBAD_QUORUM	The transaction was multi-signed, but the total weights of all included signatures did not meet the quorum.
tefBAD_SIGNATURE	The transaction was multi-signed, but contained a signature for an address not part of a SignerList associated with the sending account.
tefCREATED	DEPRECATED.
tefEXCEPTION	While processing the transaction, the server entered an unexpected state. This may be caused by unexpected inputs, for example if the binary data for the transaction is grossly malformed. If you can reproduce this error, please report an issue to get it fixed.
tefFAILURE	Unspecified failure in applying the transaction.
tefINTERNAL	When trying to apply the transaction, the server entered an unexpected state. If you can reproduce this error, please report an issue to get it fixed.
tefINVARIANT_FAILED	An invariant check failed when trying to claim the transaction cost. Added by the [EnforceInvariants amendment][]. If you can reproduce this error, please report an issue.
tefMASTER_DISABLED	The transaction was signed with the account's master key, but the account has the lsfDisableMaster field set.
tefMAX_LEDGER	The transaction included a LastLedgerSequence parameter, but the current ledger's sequence number is already higher than the specified value.
tefNFTOKEN_IS_NOT_TRANSFERABLE	The transaction attempted to send a non-fungible token to another account, but the NFToken has the lsfTransferable flag disabled and the transfer would not be to or from the issuer. (Added by the [NonFungibleTokensV1_1 amendment][].)
tefNO_AUTH_REQUIRED	The [TrustSet transaction][] tried to mark a trust line as authorized, but the lsfRequireAuth flag is not enabled for the corresponding account, so authorization is not necessary.
tefNO_TICKET	The transaction attempted to use a Ticket, but the specified TicketSequence number does not exist in the ledger, and cannot be created in the future because it is earlier than the sender's current sequence number.
tefNOT_MULTI_SIGNING	The transaction was multi-signed, but the sending account has no SignerList defined.
tefPAST_SEQ	The sequence number of the transaction is lower than the current sequence number of the account sending the transaction.
tefTOO_BIG	The transaction would affect too many objects in the ledger. For example, this was an [AccountDelete transaction][] but the account to be deleted owns over 1000 objects in the ledger.
tefWRONG_PRIOR	The transaction contained an AccountTxnID field (or the deprecated PreviousTxnID field), but the transaction specified there does not match the account's previous transaction.
tefPAST_IMPORT_SEQ	The transaction failed because the import sequence number has already been used.
tefPAST_IMPORT_VL_SEQ	The transaction failed because the import validator list sequence number has already been used.
