An invoice that breaks it is rejected.
What this rule requires
The rule requires cbc:TaxCurrencyCode (UBL) or ram:TaxCurrencyCode (CII) to hold an ISO 4217 alpha-3 currency code from the list accepted by BR-CL-05. It passes only when the normalized value is exactly one of the 178 listed codes, for example EUR, USD, or GBP. A document fails if the element is empty, contains only whitespace, has an internal space, or uses a code not on that list.
How to fix
Put a valid ISO 4217 alpha-3 currency code in the tax currency field, such as EUR, USD, or GBP. Ensure the value has no internal spaces (surrounding whitespace is ignored by the rule) and is not empty or only whitespace. Check that the code is present in the BR-CL-05 list; if the current code is something else, replace it with the correct three-letter ISO 4217 code.
