EN 16931 FATAL

Official rule text

If both Invoice line period start date (BT-134) and Invoice line period end date (BT-135) are given then the Invoice line period end date (BT-135) shall be later or equal to the Invoice line period start date (BT-134).

What this error means

This is a mandatory field rule: the business term referenced above must be present in every invoice, and it is missing (or empty) in yours.

How to fix it

  1. Add the element for the business term (BT) named in the rule text.
  2. An empty element does not count - the field must carry a value.
  3. Check you placed it at the correct level (document, party, or line).
