BR-IC-11: Intra-community supply without delivery date or invoicing period
A rule from EN 16931. What the message means and how to fix it.
What the message means
If the invoice contains category K (intra-community supply), it must state the actual delivery date (BT-72) or an invoicing period (BG-14). The invoice date alone is not enough.
How to fix it
Enter the delivery date or, for services over a period, start (BT-73) and end (BT-74). In UBL the date sits under cac:Delivery, the period under cac:InvoicePeriod.
Where the field is in the file
- UBL:
cac:Delivery/cbc:ActualDeliveryDate or cac:InvoicePeriod - CII:
ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ActualDeliverySupplyChainEvent/ram:OccurrenceDateTime or ram:BillingSpecifiedPeriod
The rule applies to every format built on EN 16931: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, and other national CIUS.
