PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

Every preceding invoice reference must contain the number of that invoice.

How to fix it

Add the preceding invoice number to each reference.

The official wording of this rule is in the PINT AE specification published by OpenPeppol.

In Alya Books

Alya Books builds the invoice XML so this holds; the official rule files confirm it on our sample documents.

بالعربية

يجب أن يتضمن كل مرجع لفاتورة سابقة رقم تلك الفاتورة.

أضف رقم الفاتورة السابقة إلى كل مرجع.
