[BR-Z-03]-An Invoice that contains a Document level allowance (BG-20) where the Document level allowance VAT category code (BT-95) is "Zero rated" shall contain the Seller VAT Identifier (BT-31), the Seller tax registration identifier (BT-32) and/or the Seller tax representative VAT identifier (BT-63).

Stored validation assertion

(exists(//cac:AllowanceCharge[cbc:ChargeIndicator=false()]/cac:TaxCategory[normalize-space(cbc:ID)='Z'][cac:TaxScheme/normalize-space(upper-case(cbc:ID))='VAT']) and (exists(//cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyTaxScheme/cbc:CompanyID) or exists(//cac:TaxRepresentativeParty/cac:PartyTaxScheme[cac:TaxScheme/(normalize-space(upper-case(cbc:ID)) = 'VAT')]/cbc:CompanyID))) or not(exists(//cac:AllowanceCharge[cbc:ChargeIndicator=false()]/cac:TaxCategory[normalize-space(cbc:ID) = 'Z'][cac:TaxScheme/normalize-space(upper-case(cbc:ID))='VAT']))

BR-Z-03 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-20, BT-95, BT-31, BT-32, BT-63.

What this rule requires

The rule applies only when an Invoice or CreditNote contains a document-level allowance (UBL: cac:AllowanceCharge[cbc:ChargeIndicator=false()]; CII: ram:SpecifiedTradeAllowanceCharge[ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator=false()]) whose VAT category code is Z under VAT (UBL: cac:TaxCategory/cbc:ID normalized to Z and cac:TaxScheme/cbc:ID normalized to VAT; CII: ram:CategoryTradeTax/ram:CategoryCode = 'Z' and upper-case ram:TypeCode = 'VAT'). In that case, at least one seller identifier must be present: in UBL, a cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyTaxScheme/cbc:CompanyID (covering BT-31 and BT-32) or a cac:TaxRepresentativeParty/cac:PartyTaxScheme[cac:TaxScheme/cbc:ID = 'VAT']/cbc:CompanyID (BT-63); in CII, a SellerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID with @schemeID VA or FC, or a SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID with @schemeID VA. If no such allowance exists, the rule passes. As a fatal rule, failure results in validation rejection.

How to fix

Add at least one of the required identifiers. UBL: add cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyTaxScheme/cbc:CompanyID with the seller's VAT or tax registration number, or add cac:TaxRepresentativeParty/cac:PartyTaxScheme with cac:TaxScheme/cbc:ID = 'VAT' and cbc:CompanyID. CII: add /rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement/ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID with @schemeID VA or FC, or add ram:SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID with @schemeID VA. Ensure the identifier value is present.
