BR-CL-01: Invoice type code is not valid
A rule from EN 16931. What the message means and how to fix it.
What the message means
The invoice type code (BT-3) is not in the allowed code list (UNTDID 1001 subset).
How to fix it
Use 380 for a commercial invoice, 381 for a credit note and 384 for a corrected invoice. In UBL a credit note is usually a separate CreditNote document.
Where the field is in the file
- UBL:
cbc:InvoiceTypeCode - CII:
rsm:ExchangedDocument/ram:TypeCode
The rule applies to every format built on EN 16931: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, and other national CIUS.
