FX-SCH-A-000968: Permitted tax type code for a logistics charge

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-000968 means a non-empty tax type code for a logistics service charge is not permitted by the Extended profile. Replace it with a permitted code for the tax being described. If that tax is VAT, use VAT, then export and recheck your file.

What it means

This rule checks non-empty ram:TypeCode values inside ram:SpecifiedLogisticsServiceCharge/ram:AppliedTradeTax at invoice level against the profile's tax type code list. This test allows an empty value; it does not test for VAT alone.

Why it matters

The tax type code identifies which tax the other details in the block describe.

How to fix it

Correct the tax type of the affected logistics charge. In XML, change ram:TypeCode inside its ram:AppliedTradeTax to a permitted code matching the tax. Use VAT when the block describes VAT. Export and recheck your file.
