Reference to the original invoice missing (ISDOC)
Credit notes, debit notes and corrections of advance payment documents (ISDOC document types 2, 3 and 6) must refer to the original document. In this file the reference (OriginalDocumentReference) is missing.
What to do now
Who has to fix this?
The issuer of the invoice or their accounting software has to fix this. As a recipient you can usually still read the invoice, but should check the affected details before booking it.
Where this rule comes from
This rule comes from the official rule set of the Czech format ISDOC 6.0.1, not from EN 16931 – ISDOC is not an EN 16931 format. The rules check that credit notes refer to the original invoice and that the currency details are consistent. In the original they have neither identifiers nor English texts; Billvox numbers them ISDOC-01 to ISDOC-04 and explains them.
