errorKSEF-007KSeFcountryAUTO-FIX

KSeF date format invalid โ€” wrong date or timestamp serialisation

KSEF-007 is raised when a date or timestamp in an FA(2)/FA(3) e-invoice does not match the format the KSeF (Krajowy System e-Faktur) XSD requires. The Polish schema uses two different date types: plain calendar dates such as P_1 (data wystawienia / issue date), P_6 (sale date) and the due date must be xs:date in YYYY-MM-DD form, while DataWytworzeniaFa (the technical document creation timestamp in the header) must be a full xs:dateTime with a UTC time-zone designator. Any other shape โ€” a localised 15.04.2026, a slash date, a two-digit year, a date-only value placed in DataWytworzeniaFa, or a timestamp missing its Z / +02:00 offset โ€” is rejected before the business checks even run.

Currency code invalid

errorKSEF-001KSeFcountryINPUT

KSeF NIP validation failed โ€” bad format or wrong identifier field

KSEF-001 fires when a Polish tax identification number (NIP) on a KSeF e-invoice is malformed or placed in the wrong identifier element. A NIP must be exactly 10 digits and pass the official weighted check-digit test; the KSeF schema field that carries it (Podmiot1/Podmiot2 โ†’ DaneIdentyfikacyjne โ†’ NIP) accepts digits only โ€” no PL prefix, no spaces, no dashes. A second, very common variant is putting a domestic NIP in the EU VAT field (NrVatUE) or a generic identifier (NrID) instead of the NIP element, which both fails validation and breaks routing of the invoice to the correct party inside KSeF.

errorKSEF-005KSeFcountryINPUT

KSeF VAT rate invalid โ€” StawkaPodatku not in the Ministry of Finance dictionary

KSEF-005 is raised when a VAT rate or tax category on an FA(2)/FA(3) invoice does not match the values the KSeF schema and the Ministry of Finance dictionary allow. KSeF does not accept arbitrary percentages or free-text descriptions: each line's rate must map to an allowed value (currently 23%, 8%, 5%, 0%) or to one of the markers โ€” zw (exempt), np (out of scope), and the reverse-charge handling โ€” declared through P_12 and consistent with the document totals (P_13_x / P_14_x). A non-dictionary percentage, or a marker inconsistent with the amounts reported for that group, is rejected.
