fatal CII UBL
A rule for zero-rated VAT (category Z): the rate is 0, a seller VAT or tax registration identifier is present, and the VAT breakdown with category Z must match the lines. This is an error: the invoice is rejected until it is fixed.
This error needs information only you have, so it is not repaired automatically. The free check shows every finding in the file with its location; if other errors in the same file are in the automatic set (totals, VAT breakdown, rounding, element order), the result page offers the corrected file for 9 €.
