Original rule text

[BR-26]-Each Invoice line (BG-25) shall contain the Item net price (BT-146).

Stored validation assertion

exists(cac:Price/cbc:PriceAmount)

BR-26 is a fatal rule in the business layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected. It refers to BG-25, BT-146.

What this rule requires

The rule requires each invoice line (BG-25) to contain an item net price (BT-146). In UBL this means the element cac:Price/cbc:PriceAmount must exist in every cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine; in CII, ram:SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement/ram:NetPriceProductTradePrice/ram:ChargeAmount must exist in every ram:IncludedSupplyChainTradeLineItem. The rule is fatal, so missing this element causes the invoice to be rejected during validation.

How to fix

Add the missing element to each affected line:

UBL: include cac:Price/cbc:PriceAmount inside the line.
CII: include ram:SpecifiedLineTradeAgreement/ram:NetPriceProductTradePrice/ram:ChargeAmount inside the line. The test only checks that the element is present, not its value; if the element is present but the rule still triggers, check that it is in the correct namespace and location as shown.
