Severity
error
Detected by
tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability
Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

Belongs to the 'XRechnung CVD' sibling CIUS (Clean Vehicle Directive) — a separate CustomizationID normbill never generates; reachable only for CVD XML submitted to /v1/invoices/validate.

How to fix it

Classify the vehicle line with the CVD scheme, or use the regular XRechnung CIUS.

BR-DE-CVD-03 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Eine CVD-Rechnung braucht mindestens eine Position, deren Artikelklassifikation (BT-158) das Schema „CVD“ zusammen mit dem Fahrzeug-Attribut verwendet. Diese Regel gehört zur Schwester-CIUS „XRechnung CVD“ (Clean Vehicle Directive), die normbill nicht erzeugt.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Klassifizieren Sie die Fahrzeugposition mit dem CVD-Schema.
