Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, May 2026 release, EN 16931 model bound to UBL
Severity note: fatal, from the Flag column of the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL rules index retrieved 2026-10-18.
Each Document level charge (BG-21) must have a Document level charge amount (BT-99). The message says "shall have" and starts with "Each". It ends with a period. It spells "Document level" with a space and no hyphen. The context is a document charge on the invoice or the credit note, and the charge indicator comparison is = true() with spaces around =. The published test checks that cbc:Amount exists. It does not calculate the amount.
Put a Document level charge amount (BT-99) on each document charge.
Illustration of the condition in the official statement. Not an example published by the source.
