BR-FR-MV-07_BT-128: Each line's sub-invoice number must match its direct parent's

What it means

For these billing frameworks in BT-23, every line (BG-25) must have a populated AFL sub-invoice number. If the line has a parent identifier (EXT-FR-FE-162), its number must equal that direct parent's number. In UBL, the reference is cac:DocumentReference/cbc:ID with schemeID AFL under a reference with cbc:DocumentTypeCode 130. In CII, it is ram:IssuerAssignedID with ram:ReferenceTypeCode AFL and ram:TypeCode 130, and the parent is identified by ram:ParentLineID.

Why it matters

Repeating the direct parent's sub-invoice number keeps the linked lines associated with the same sub-invoice.

How to fix it

Populate the AFL reference on each affected line, including detail lines. In CII, both the line's AFL reference and any direct parent's AFL reference must have ram:TypeCode 130. If a parent identifier is present, find that exact parent and compare the two AFL values. Correct the number or the parent link according to which sub-invoice the line actually belongs to. Do not assume the direct parent is always a top-level GROUP line. Export and recheck the file.

The rule as published

IDligne … , ID parent ligne … , numfact en ligne … , numfact ligne parent : … . Lorsque le cadre de facturation (BT-23) est S8, B8, M8 ou S9, B9, M9, chaque ligne (BG-25) doit contenir un numéro de facture codifié AFL (BT-128). Si la ligne a un identifiant de ligne parent (EXT-FR-FE-162), ce numéro doit être identique à celui de la ligne parent.

Where France CTC (CII) run it, the rule reads:

IDligne … , ID parent ligne … , numfact en ligne … , numfact ligne parent : … . Lorsque le cadre de facturation (BT-23) est S8, B8, M8 ou S9, B9, M9, chaque ligne (BG-25) doit contenir un numéro de facture codifié AFL (ram:IssuerAssignedID). Si la ligne a un identifiant de ligne parent (ram:ParentLineID), ce numéro doit être identique à celui de la ligne parent.
