BR-O-12

Validation message

An Invoice that contains a VAT breakdown group (BG-23) with a VAT category code (BT-118) "Not subject to VAT" shall not contain an Invoice line (BG-25) where the Invoiced item VAT category code (BT-151) is not "Not subject to VAT".

Explanation

When the VAT breakdown has a 'not subject to VAT' entry, EN 16931 requires all lines to be not subject to VAT as well. At least one here has a different VAT category. Supplies not subject to VAT and other supplies belong on separate invoices.

How to fix

Check which category is wrong. Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with a single category, or to invoice the other items separately.
