, check the following before posting:

  1. the partner country and correctly formatted VAT number;
  2. the VIES validation result for EU partners;
  3. the selected Fiscal Position on the invoice;
  4. taxes on each invoice line;
  5. the legal tax note in the invoice preview.

Fiscal positions are normally preconfigured. They define countries, tax-liability conditions, and mappings from domestic taxes. Do not change a fiscal position merely to fix one invoice; first verify the partner and product data.
