How do I fix BR-DE-TMP-32?

Give one of them, a delivery date (BT-72), an invoicing period for the whole invoice (BG-14) or a period per line (BG-26). German VAT law (§ 14 UStG) requires the date of supply regardless of XRechnung, so it is more than a formality.

BR-DE-TMP-32 Date of supply is missing

The invoice should say when the service was performed, as a delivery date, an invoicing period or a period per line. Without any of them the validator adds a note.

The rule's official text

Eine Rechnung sollte zur Angabe des Liefer-/Leistungsdatums entweder BT-72 "Actual delivery date", BG-14 "Invoicing period" oder in jeder Rechnungsposition BG-26 "Invoice line period" enthalten.

The invoice should state when the service was performed, as a delivery date (BT-72), an invoicing period (BG-14) or a period on every line (BG-26).

A note: no reason to reject the invoice.

What usually causes it
