BR-32 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Ein Nachlass auf Dokumentebene braucht eine Umsatzsteuer-Kategorie (BT-95). Sie kann nicht automatisch übernommen werden, weil die Positionen mehr als eine Kategorie oder mehr als einen Steuersatz verwenden.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Setzen Sie vat_category und vat am Nachlass, z. B. { vat_category: "S", vat: 19 }.
