What it means
The delivery date (BT-72), when present, must be a valid date with a year from 2000 to 2099. In UBL invoices and credit notes, this is cac:Delivery/cbc:ActualDeliveryDate.
Why it matters
The delivery date records when you supplied the goods or services. An invalid date makes that information unclear, and a valid date outside the permitted year range still fails this rule.
How to fix it
Find the delivery date or service date and check its year, month and day against your delivery or service records. Correct any error. If your software copies the date from an order or delivery note, check that source too. Export the corrected file and check it again.
