Original rule text

[PEPPOL-EN16931-P0107]-Tax Category AE MUST be used when exemption reason code is VATEX-EU-AE

Stored validation assertion
normalize-space(cbc:ID)='AE'

PEPPOL-EN16931-P0107 is a fatal rule in the format layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected.

What this rule requires

In UBL, for each cac:TaxCategory where cbc:TaxExemptionReasonCode is VATEX-EU-AE (case-insensitive), the cbc:ID element inside that cac:TaxCategory must have the normalized value exactly AE. A document is rejected if that cbc:ID is missing, empty, contains only whitespace, or is any value other than AE.

How to fix

Set cbc:ID to AE inside the cac:TaxCategory where cbc:TaxExemptionReasonCode is VATEX-EU-AE. If the invoice producer uses a different tax category ID, change the mapping so that this exemption reason yields AE.

Guidance on this rule. The original text above is authoritative.
