Invoice charge has no reason

ErrorEN 16931BT-104BT-105

Also available in:NederlandsFrançais

What it means

An extra charge applied to the whole invoice needs a reason or a reason code. Neither is provided for this charge.

Typical causes

  • A surcharge description was left blank
  • The export omitted the charge reason code

How to fix it

  1. Open the invoice-level charge and enter its reason, such as delivery costs.
  2. Export the invoice with either the reason text or the appropriate reason code.
What the rule says (technical)

Each Document level charge (BG-21) shall have a Document level charge reason (BT-104) or reason code (BT-105).

Add cbc:AllowanceChargeReason or cbc:AllowanceChargeReasonCode (UNCL7161, e.g. FC freight).
