Validation message

An Invoice shall have an Invoice issue date (BT-2).

Explanation

Every invoice must state the date it was issued. VAT law requires it, and payment terms are counted from it.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states the invoice date.

This field is required by §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 3 UStG. A missing or incorrect value may affect input VAT deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) for the recipient.
