BR-21

Each Invoice line (BG-25) shall have an Invoice line identifier (BT-126).

error: the document is invalid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • An invoice line has an empty or missing cbc:ID (ram:AssociatedDocumentLineDocument/ram:LineID in CII).

How to fix it

Number the lines; 1, 2, 3 will do. Peppol also wants the numbers to be unique within the invoice.

What the rule checks

As the rule set's publisher wrote it. The rule runs on every element the context matches, and fails where the test is false; the validator reports the line of that element.
