Ah, I understand now, thanks for that :-)
I have a question about radius provided RPIDs. Do they get saved in the
user location information with the other details? I want to use the RPID
to map a phone number to the username they register with.

Read the SIP specification. While, technically, you might be able to parse out
some contact information from an invite message, there is no guarantee that
this information need actually be in full or total. An INVITE is designed to
send a request to another SIP UA to initiate a messaging conversation. A
REGISTER is for the purpose of setting location information.
One might very well ask why you can't terminate a call on an ACK or initiate a
REINVITE on a BYE message. Technically, you COULD... but that's not what these
messages are for. You need to follow the specification, or the specification
is worthless. The whole idea one has a specification is so that everyone's
software/hardware works the same way and there are no surprises.

But I don't understand why I can't save
the location when it's a INVITE
not just a REGISTER? Could you please explain this?
Thank you,
