PEPPOL-EN16931-R051

Currency attributes inconsistent (PEPPOL)

All currency attributes in the invoice must match the invoice currency code (BT-5).

What to do now

Tip: Exception: the VAT amount in accounting currency (BT-111) may differ.

Who has to fix this?

The issuer of the invoice has to fix this. If the invoice is sent through a Peppol access point, the access point will otherwise reject it before delivery.

Where this rule comes from

This rule comes from the Peppol rule set BIS Billing 3.0, which goes beyond EN 16931. It is checked as soon as an invoice is sent as Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 through the Peppol network.
