BR-B-02 is a fatal rule in the business layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected. It refers to BG-25, BG-20, BG-21, BT-151, BT-95, BT-118, BT-102.

What this rule requires

The rule forbids a UBL invoice or credit note from containing both VAT category code B (Split payment) and VAT category code S (Standard rated) in any of these places: cac:TaxTotal/cac:TaxSubtotal/cac:TaxCategory/cbc:ID (VAT breakdown), cac:AllowanceCharge/cac:TaxCategory/cbc:ID (document level allowance/charge), or //cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory/cbc:ID (invoice line). The test fails if at least one of those elements has B and at least one has S, regardless of how many other codes are present.

How to fix

Check the VAT category codes in cac:TaxTotal/cac:TaxSubtotal/cac:TaxCategory/cbc:ID, cac:AllowanceCharge/cac:TaxCategory/cbc:ID, and //cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory/cbc:ID. Ensure the invoice does not contain both B and S: if the invoice is intended to be split payment, change all S values to B; if it is intended to be standard rated, change all B values to S. If only a specific line or allowance is incorrect, correct that value so that one of the two codes no longer appears anywhere in the invoice.
