PEPPOL-EN16931-CL006

Validation message

Invoice period description code must be according to UNCL 2005 D.16B.

Explanation

An invoice period can additionally carry a code stating which date the VAT relates to (such as the invoice date, the delivery date or the payment date). This code must come from the code list PEPPOL prescribes (UNCL 2005, version D.16B).

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with a valid invoice period code, or without the code; the start and end of the period are enough. This usually comes from the seller's invoicing software, not from data entry.
