ErrorEN 16931Needs confirmation

BR-CL-06

Value added tax point date code MUST be coded using a restriction of UNTDID 2475.

What does this rule mean?

The VAT point date code (BT-8) is not an allowed value (a restriction of UNTDID 2475).

The code fixes what the tax point refers to (e.g. invoice date) — only the permitted UNTDID 2475 values are valid.

Official rule message (standard)

Value added tax point date code MUST be coded using a restriction of UNTDID 2475.

Where the rule applies

Syntax: CII · UBL

The same rule, expressed twice: UBL and CII name the same fields with different paths. Running a CII file against the UBL rules is why you get errors that mean nothing.

UBL

  • cac:InvoicePeriod/cbc:DescriptionCode

CII

  • ram:DueDateTypeCode

Technical test

The rule passes when this Schematron expression holds true:

((not(contains(normalize-space(.), ' ')) and contains(' 5 29 72 ', concat(' ', normalize-space(.), ' '))))

How to fix it

A wrong code-list value. A tool can suggest a valid code, but you confirm the correct one.

Use one of the allowed codes (5, 29 or 72) or remove BT-8.
