Package natbib error: Bibliography not compatible with author year citation

LaTeX error message upon build: 

Natbibbibliography not compatible with author year citation

In my case this was caused by a missing year entry in a bib-entry in  Mendeley. This caused something along these lines in bibliography.aux (important is the last line missing a year column): 

\bibcite{Wurman.2000}{{27}{2000}{{Wurman}}{{}}}
\bibcite{Wurman2001}{{28}{2001}{{Wurman et~al.}}{{}}}
\bibcite{Xerox2008}{{29}{{Xerox Corporation}}{{}}}
  • add the missing year to whatever bib entry is missing that datum (either directly in the .bib file or indirectly in jabref or e.g. mendeley)
  • clear your bibliography.aux file
  • rebuild
