## Machine preamble

**Summary:** Fix code: satisfy_precondition This C# representation uses the selected SDK's native names wherever Studio has a verified mapping.

### Five questions

#### Q1. When should the reader use satisfy_precondition?

Use this page as orientation before selecting the narrower guide or reference that owns the implementation contract.

#### Q2. What is authoritative on this page?

Use this page for orientation; follow its canonical SDK, guide, API, or MCP links for exact contracts.

#### Q3. What page-specific constraint matters most?

Use the page to choose a canonical next source instead of treating summary material as a complete implementation contract.

#### Q4. Can Inttegro MCP materially help with this task?

No catalog ability is sufficiently specific to recommend for this page. Use the documentation directly; consult the MCP catalog only if the task later requires governed live account context or a supported operation.

#### Q5. How should the reader verify the answer and continue?

Select the narrowest linked guide or reference, apply its stated completion condition, and verify against authoritative resource state when the task changes data. Continue with [precondition_unmet](https://studio.inttegro.dev/machine/csharp/e/c-precondition_unmet.md) when those concerns enter scope.

## Document content

# satisfy\_precondition

Fix code indicating a required precondition must be satisfied before the requested operation can proceed.

## What this means

The Inttegro API is telling you that your request is valid and your parameters are correct, but you need to complete a prerequisite operation or wait for a state change before this operation can succeed. This fix code appears when operations have explicit ordering requirements or depend on specific system states being established first. For example, if you complete an order when it hasn't been paid yet, you'll receive this fix code because payment is a precondition for completion—you need to pay for the order first to satisfy that precondition, then retry the completion request. Similarly, scheduling a payout before configuring payout destinations will result in this fix code, directing you to set up destinations as the prerequisite.

The error detail field will identify exactly which precondition is unmet and often hints at what you need to do. Unlike `change_request_parameters` where you modify your current request, this fix code tells you to perform a different API operation first (or wait for a state transition), and then retry your original request unchanged—the parameters were fine, you just attempted things out of order.
