Explanation
Every invoice needs an invoice number, assigned once by the seller. VAT law requires it too, and both sides use it to identify the invoice unambiguously, for example in payments, reminders or corrections.
How to fix
Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with an invoice number.
This field is required by §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 4 UStG. A missing or incorrect value may affect input VAT deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) for the recipient.
