What it means
The due date (BT-9), when present, must be a valid date with a year from 2000 to 2099. In UBL invoices and credit notes, this is cbc:DueDate.
Why it matters
The due date tells your buyer when payment is due. An invalid date cannot communicate that deadline clearly, and a valid date outside the permitted year range still fails this rule.
How to fix it
Check the due date on your invoice or credit note, including its year, month and day. If your software calculates it from payment terms, check the terms and the date used in that calculation. Correct the error, export the file and check it again.
