What it means
A line period end date (BT-135), when present, must be a valid date with a year from 2000 to 2099. In a UBL invoice, this is cac:InvoiceLine/cac:InvoicePeriod/cbc:EndDate. In a UBL credit note, it is cac:CreditNoteLine/cac:InvoicePeriod/cbc:EndDate.
Why it matters
A line period tells your buyer which period that particular line covers. Its end date needs to be valid and within the permitted year range, independently of the document-level period.
How to fix it
Use the value quoted in the error message to help locate the affected line. Check the year, month and day of that line's period end date and correct it against your records. If your software calculates the date from a service duration, check that calculation too. Export the corrected file and check it again.
