BR-RO-020_1: Invoice type code must be 380, 384, 389 or 751

What it means

In an invoice document, the invoice type code (BT-3) must be exactly one of 380 (invoice), 384 (corrected invoice), 389 (self-billed invoice) or 751 (invoice with information for accounting purposes). The official text also lists 381 (credit note), but the test for an invoice document does not accept it. A credit note is a separate document type with its own check, BR-RO-020_2.

Why it matters

The type code tells the recipient what kind of document this is.

How to fix it

In your invoicing software or XML, check the invoice type code (BT-3, cbc:InvoiceTypeCode in UBL). A normal invoice is 380. Use 384 only for an invoice that corrects an earlier one, 389 for a self-billed invoice and 751 for an invoice providing information for accounting purposes. If you meant a credit note, use a UBL CreditNote document with cbc:CreditNoteTypeCode set to 381.
