FX-SCH-A-001143: Use an allowed currency code for the line VAT total

In short

Error: fails the selected checks.

FX-SCH-A-001143 means a line VAT total whose currencyID matches the VAT accounting currency (BT-6) uses a currency code outside the Extended profile's allowed list. Correct the currency code to match the currency in which that VAT amount is expressed.

What it means

The rule checks currencyID on ram:TaxTotalAmount within the line's ram:SpecifiedTradeSettlementLineMonetarySummation, but only where it matches ram:TaxCurrencyCode in ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement. A non-empty code must appear in the profile's currency list. An empty code does not fail this particular test.

Why it matters

An agreed currency code tells software which currency the line VAT total represents.

How to fix it

Check the actual VAT accounting currency. Set ram:TaxCurrencyCode under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement to its allowed ISO 4217 code, such as EUR or GBP, and use that same code in currencyID on the affected line VAT total. Do not change the code to a different currency without also correcting the amount where necessary. Save or export the corrected file and check it again.
