We are trying to migrate from Expanded Text to Responsive Search ads. We cannot seem to create an ad with the following SOAP request - personal info has been redacted, but note that these same headers are allowing us to create the older ad formats. We get the error 

   <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><s:Body><s:Fault><faultcode>s:Server</faultcode><faultstring xml:lang="en-US">Invalid client data. Check the SOAP fault details for more information. TrackingId: 44415b0c-8d42-4ba9-8158-9b523c24a4dd.</faultstring><detail><AdApiFaultDetail xmlns="https://adapi.microsoft.com" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><TrackingId>44415b0c-8d42-4ba9-8158-9b523c24a4dd</TrackingId><Errors><AdApiError><Code>119</Code><Detail i:nil="true"/><ErrorCode>InvalidAccountId</ErrorCode><Message>The account ID is invalid.</Message></AdApiError></Errors></AdApiFaultDetail></detail></s:Fault></s:Body></s:Envelope>

The SOAP request follows: 

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    For anyone else who stumbles on to this - we were using the account number in the past, but it looks you must pass the account id now.
    The account id can be found using the customer management api : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/customer-management-service/findaccounts?view=bingads-13
    you would pass the account number into the AccountFilter body element
