0043·Invoice date is later than the current date
Invoice headerOccasional
What this means
Digital invoicing is a real-time system, so an invoice cannot be dated ahead of the moment it is reported. FBR compares against its own server date.
Why it happens
- Timezone handling produced a date one day ahead relative to FBR's clock.
- Invoices were pre-dated for an upcoming delivery.
- A client device with an incorrect system clock supplied the date.
- An invoice was created near midnight and submitted after a date boundary was crossed differently on each side.
How to fix it
- 1Derive the invoice date on the server, not the client.
- 2Use Pakistan Standard Time consistently when determining the current date.
- 3Issue the invoice at the point of supply rather than in advance.
How Ordyoo handles this
Invoice dates are set server-side and submission happens at finalisation, so the reported date and the submission moment cannot diverge.
