PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

When a preceding invoice is referenced, the reference must give that invoice's number.

How to fix it

Add the number of the preceding invoice.

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
