fatal CII UBL
An EN 16931 core rule: a mandatory business term is missing, or a basic condition between business terms is not met. Add or correct the element named in the rule text at the location the validation result shows. This is an error: the invoice is rejected until it is fixed.
This error needs information only you have, so it is not repaired automatically. The free check shows every finding in the file with its location; if other errors in the same file are in the automatic set (totals, VAT breakdown, rounding, element order), the result page offers the corrected file for 9 €.
[BR-48]-Each VAT breakdown (BG-23) shall have a VAT category rate (BT-119), except if the Invoice is not subject to VAT.
