BR-NL-19: The VAT accounting currency code is not recommended

What it means

The invoice contains a VAT accounting currency code (BT-6), the currency used for VAT when it differs from the invoice currency. The rule has no condition: it raises the warning whenever this field is used.

Why it matters

Nothing is rejected. The warning tells you that the Dutch rule set advises against this field, so you cannot count on the recipient using it.

How to fix it

It is worth fixing only if you want a file without warnings or the buyer asks for it. In your invoicing software, remove the VAT currency setting, or turn off the option that adds it to the export. If you invoice in a foreign currency and state the VAT amount in euros, check with your accountant before removing it.
