Original rule text
[BR-CO-22]-Each Document level charge (BG-21) shall contain a Document level charge reason (BT-104) or a Document level charge reason code (BT-105), or both.
exists(cbc:AllowanceChargeReason) or exists(cbc:AllowanceChargeReasonCode)BR-CO-22 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-21, BT-104, BT-105.
What this rule requires
The rule requires that every document level charge (BG-21) contains at least one of a document level charge reason (BT-104) or a document level charge reason code (BT-105), or both. In UBL this means each cac:AllowanceCharge with cbc:ChargeIndicator = true must have a child cbc:AllowanceChargeReason or cbc:AllowanceChargeReasonCode. A document fails validation when neither element exists.
How to fix
Add cbc:AllowanceChargeReason or cbc:AllowanceChargeReasonCode (or both) to each cac:AllowanceCharge where cbc:ChargeIndicator is true. In CII, add ram:Reason or ram:ReasonCode under the applicable ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge with ram:ChargeIndicator true. The rule only checks for the element's presence, not its content.
