Why this rule existsrationale

The two identifiers have the same prefix and the same length, sit next to each other in the request, and describe different objects — so transposing them produces a submission that validates structurally and fails on a message about bundle validation. It is one of the very few brand errors that is genuinely a typo rather than a misunderstanding.

How to fix itremediation

Read both identifiers back from the account and confirm which is the customer profile and which is the A2P bundle before resubmitting. Fix the upstream profile first if it is the one at fault — updating the brand alone re-fails for the same reason. Done when the two are distinct and each is in its own field.

A compliant exampleexample

customer_profile_bundle_sid: BU1111… · a2p_profile_bundle_sid: BU2222… — two different identifiers, each in its own field

Absorbs OPS-346, which adds that the upstream profile must be corrected first. Only the shape and the distinctness are checkable here; whether each identifier points at the right object needs the account, which is external.
