Validation rules

BR-CL-13 — EN 16931 rule

The list identifier of an item classification (BT-158 listID) is not a UNTDID 7143 code.

Rule: BR-CL-13 — official EN 16931 / XRechnung rule
Severity: error
Detected by: tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability: Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

invoice.lines[i].classifications[j].scheme is free text (required when a classification is set); UNTDID 7143 membership is left to the KoSIT tier. Fatal in the primary CIUS scenario (only the Extension scenario downgrades it).

How to fix it

Use a UNTDID 7143 code as the listID on cbc:ItemClassificationCode.

BR-CL-13 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Das Listenkennzeichen einer Artikelklassifizierung (BT-158, listID) stammt nicht aus der UNTDID 7143. Über normbill ist classifications[i].scheme Pflicht-Freitext; die Listenmitgliedschaft prüft KoSIT.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Verwenden Sie einen UNTDID-7143-Code als listID an cbc:ItemClassificationCode.
