Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – The VAT point is specified twice

Hello,

could you clarify a detail on your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate} (BR-CO-03)? The invoice can supply either a specific date (BT-7) or a code referring to an event (BT-8). Check which field correctly expresses the actual VAT point and keep that field alone.

Could you send us the corrected invoice?

Thank you and kind regards

Example

An invoice gives an explicit VAT point date and also a code referring to the invoice date. If the explicit date is the intended one, keep only the date.
