Solution

The assertion that will be misstated with regards to sales of an entity, where failure of customers being invoiced occurs, is the "Completeness" assertion. This assertion ensures that all transactions that should have been recorded have been recorded. If customers are not being invoiced, it means that all sales transactions are not being recorded, hence, the completeness assertion is violated.
