Problem Description#

The value added tax point date code must be provided on the invoice.

ERROR

XRechnung 3.0

Context and Significance#

If you cannot provide an explicit VAT point date, some profiles allow a VAT point date code indicating how the VAT point date is derived (for example, based on issue date). Use a value that is valid for your XRechnung/EN 16931 profile and keep it consistent with other date fields.

Solution#

Add the value added tax point date code to the invoice.

Valid Examples#

Use these points as the practical checks for this section.

  • A valid VAT point date code as defined by your profile

Invalid Examples#

Use these points as the practical checks for this section.

  • Missing VAT point date code
  • Code not allowed by the profile

Code Examples#

Valid XML
<cbc:TaxPointDateCode>VALUE_FROM_PROFILE</cbc:TaxPointDateCode>
Invalid XML
<!-- Missing cbc:TaxPointDateCode -->
