The number of columns that you want to insert must tally with the number of columns that come from select.
I do not know your table structures, assuming invoiceid and customerid exist in invoice and accountinginvoice tables, then according to your latest code snippet, it should be:
INSERT INTO invoice (invoiceid, customerid)
SELECT invoiceid, customerid
FROM accountinginvoice where invoiceid='0380'
