FATAL
Official rule text
For each different value of VAT category rate (BT-119) where the VAT category code (BT-118) is "IPSI", the VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) in a VAT breakdown (BG-23) shall equal the sum of Invoice line net amounts (BT-131) plus the sum of document level charge amounts (BT-99) minus the sum of document level allowance amounts (BT-92) where the VAT category code (BT-151, BT-102, BT-95) is "IPSI" and the VAT rate (BT-152, BT-103, BT-96) equals the VAT category rate (BT-119).
What this error means
This is a VAT category rule for VAT category. When any line, allowance or charge uses this category, the standard requires a matching, internally consistent VAT breakdown (seller identifiers, category rates, taxable and tax amounts).
How to fix it
- Check every line using this VAT category against the requirement in the rule text.
- Make sure the VAT breakdown (BG-23) contains exactly one entry for this category, with consistent rate and amounts.
- For exemption-style categories, provide the exemption reason text or code where required.
