BR-DE-TMP-32
Eine Rechnung sollte zur Angabe des Liefer-/Leistungsdatums entweder BT-72 "Actual delivery date", BG-14 "Invoicing period" oder in jeder Rechnungsposition BG-26 "Invoice line period" enthalten.
What does this rule mean?
The invoice states no delivery or service date.
For VAT purposes it must be clear when the supply happened. XRechnung accepts three ways: the actual delivery date (BT-72), an invoicing period (BG-14), or a line period (BG-26) on every line. This is a warning, not a hard rejection.
- BG-14
- Invoicing period (group)
- BG-26
- Invoice line period (group)
- BT-72
- Actual delivery date

Where the rule applies
Syntax: CII · UBL
The same rule, expressed twice: UBL and CII name the same fields with different paths. Running a CII file against the UBL rules is why you get errors that mean nothing.
UBL
/ubl:Invoice | /cn:CreditNote
CII
/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction
Technical test
