Number or date format is incorrect

ErrorInvoiceVerify

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

A number or date is written in a format the invoice standard cannot read. Amounts, quantities and percentages must be decimal numbers, and dates must follow the chosen invoice format.

Typical causes

  • The export includes currency symbols or thousands separators
  • Dates were exported in the local display format

How to fix it

  1. Check the value highlighted by the validator
  2. Ask your provider to export numbers with a decimal point and no currency symbols or thousands separators
  3. Use YYYY-MM-DD dates for UBL or YYYYMMDD with format 102 for CII, without a time
What the rule says (technical)

Amounts, quantities and percentages must be decimal numbers; dates must use the syntax date format (YYYY-MM-DD in UBL, YYYYMMDD with format 102 in CII).

Remove thousands separators and currency symbols, use a dot as decimal separator and write dates without time components.
