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

  • /ubl:Invoice | /cn:CreditNote

CII

  • //ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementHeaderMonetarySummation

Technical test

The rule passes when this Schematron expression holds true:

not(ram:TaxTotalAmount) or ram:TaxTotalAmount[(@currencyID =/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:TaxCurrencyCode and . = round(. * 100) div 100) or not (/rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement/ram:TaxCurrencyCode)]
