BR-CL-04 — E-Invoice Validation Rule & Fix

Fixture ID: badCurrency · XPath: /ubl:Invoice/cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode

1. Why This Rule Triggers (Diagnostic Message)

The invoice currency code (BT-5) must be an ISO 4217 alphabetic code, but "euro" is not one. A three-letter shape is not enough — the schematron tests membership of the list, so "XYZ" and "EURO" both fail.

2. How to Fix BR-CL-04

Set currency to the ISO 4217 alpha-3 code in upper case. Common values: "EUR", "USD", "GBP", "CHF", "SEK", "DKK", "NOK", "PLN". Use the code, never the symbol or the name.

3. Valid Code / Payload Example

"currency": "EUR"
