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.

Plain-language reading

The statement says a document-level charge reason code (BT-105) and a document-level charge reason (BT-104) shall indicate the same type of charge, and the published test is true(). The statement ends with a period and does not say MUST. The context is an invoice or a credit note charge whose charge indicator is true, with spaces around = and around the bar. The test does not compare the reason code with the reason text. It does not call exists.

What to change

When both the document-level charge reason code (BT-105) and the reason (BT-104) are present, make them name the same charge type. The published test is true().
