PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

The unit of measure of the price base quantity must be the same as the unit of the invoiced quantity.

How to fix it

Use the same unit of measure for the price base quantity and the line quantity.

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

In Alya Books

بالعربية

يجب أن تكون وحدة قياس الكمية الأساسية للسعر هي نفسها وحدة الكمية المفوترة.

استخدم وحدة القياس نفسها للكمية الأساسية للسعر ولكمية البند.

See this rule in the interactive reference, or pre-check an invoice file.
