Validation message

In an Invoice line (BG-25) where the Invoiced item VAT category code (BT-151) is "IGIC" the invoiced item VAT rate (BT-152) shall be 0 (zero) or greater than zero.

Explanation

A line in the IGIC category must state its VAT rate. It must be above 0%; some invoice formats also accept 0%, none a negative or missing rate.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with the applicable IGIC rate. If no IGIC rate applies to the supply, check whether the category is right.
