UBL-CR-007: The file should not contain a pricing currency code

What it means

The rule checks that cbc:PricingCurrencyCode is not directly under the invoice or credit note root. In UBL it identifies the currency used for pricing, which need not differ from the invoice currency. EN 16931 has one invoice currency code (BT-5), plus an optional VAT accounting currency code (BT-6) for when the VAT total is stated in another currency.

Why it matters

EN 16931 uses the invoice currency (BT-5) for prices. The optional VAT accounting currency code (BT-6) serves a different purpose and is not prohibited by this rule.

How to fix it

Remove cbc:PricingCurrencyCode from the document root. Keep your prices in the invoice currency (BT-5). If VAT has to be shown in another currency, use the VAT accounting currency code (BT-6) with its matching VAT amount instead. Export again and recheck the file.
