- Applies to · UBL / CII
- Editorial review pending
If an item is assigned a classification (BT-158), for example a product category under UNSPSC or eCl@ss, the invoice must state which classification system the code comes from. Without this the code cannot be interpreted. If the scheme is missing, the e-invoice is not valid.
As of
Who can correct it?
The sender can correct the invoice.
How to fix it
- Ask the sender for a corrected invoice that states the classification system for the item classification.
- If you created the invoice yourself: set the classification system used, or leave the classification out if you do not need it.

Message to the sender
Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – item classification scheme missing
Hello,
Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. In the electronic invoice at least one line has an item classification without the classification system it belongs to (rule BR-65). Could you please send us a corrected version?
Kind regardsExample
The export includes the item classification but omits the scheme identifier. The sender adds the identifier for the scheme actually used in the relevant attribute.
