IBR-188-AE

PINT AE validation rule for UAE e-invoices

What it means

When an item classification code is given, it must be marked as an HS code.

How to fix it

Set the scheme of the item classification code to HS.

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

Alya Books builds the invoice XML so this holds; the official rule files confirm it on our sample documents.

بالعربية

عندما يُذكر رمز تصنيف الصنف، يجب أن يُعلَّم بأنه رمز HS.
