PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

Every charge on the whole invoice must have a reason, given as text or as a reason code.

How to fix it

Add a reason or a reason code to each document level charge.

The official wording of this rule is in the PINT AE specification published by OpenPeppol.
