BR-CO-03

Value added tax point date (BT-7) and Value added tax point date code (BT-8) are mutually exclusive.

error: the document is invalid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • The invoice gives both a VAT point date (cbc:TaxPointDate, BT-7) and a VAT point date code (cac:InvoicePeriod/cbc:DescriptionCode, BT-8); in CII both ram:TaxPointDate and ram:DueDateTypeCode.

How to fix it

Keep one: the date when it is known, or the code when the VAT point follows from another date (in UBL 3 issue date, 35 delivery date, 432 paid to date; in CII 5, 29 and 72).

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.
