BR-O-11 — E-Invoice Validation Rule & Fix

Fixture ID: outOfScopeMixed · XPath: /ubl:Invoice/cac:TaxTotal/cac:TaxSubtotal/cac:TaxCategory/cbc:ID

1. Why This Rule Triggers (Diagnostic Message)

This invoice contains a VAT breakdown group (BG-23) with the VAT category code (BT-118) "Not subject to VAT", so it must not contain any other VAT breakdown group — but your lines, document level allowances and document level charges also produce "S". "Not subject to VAT" is a statement about the whole document: the transaction falls outside the scope of VAT altogether, which cannot be true of the invoice and false of one figure on it.

2. How to Fix BR-O-11

Split the document. Put everything in category O on its own invoice, and the S lines, allowances and charges on another. There is no way to express a mixed document here, and none is intended: BR-O-11, BR-O-12, BR-O-13 and BR-O-14 close every route to it.
