Payment means in an invoice MUST be coded using UNTDID 4461 code list

What does this rule mean?

Payment means in an invoice MUST be coded using UNTDID 4461 code list

The value must come from a fixed code list.

Official rule message (standard)

Payment means in an invoice MUST be coded using UNTDID 4461 code list

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:PaymentMeans/cbc:PaymentMeansCode

CII

  • ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementPaymentMeans/ram:TypeCode

Technical test

The rule passes when this Schematron expression holds true:

((not(contains(normalize-space(.), ' ')) and contains(' 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 74 75 76 77 78 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 ZZZ ', concat(' ', normalize-space(.), ' '))))
