BR-22 Invoiced quantity must be present on every invoice line

Under EN 16931 rule BR-22, each invoice line (BG-25 / INVOICE LINE) must specify the invoiced quantity in BT-129 (InvoicedQuantity). The invoiced quantity represents the number of units of goods delivered or service units rendered. A missing quantity prevents arithmetic computation of the line net extension amount and the verification of total invoice economics.

Context and Significance

Omission of BT-129 prevents verification of line item pricing and triggers Schematron validation error BR-22.

Solution

In your ERP billing module, ensure that every line item has a non-empty invoiced quantity. In UBL 2.1 syntax, populate <cbc:InvoicedQuantity unitCode="H87">5.00</cbc:InvoicedQuantity> under <cac:InvoiceLine>. In UN/CEFACT CII syntax, populate <ram:BilledQuantity unitCode="H87">5.00</ram:BilledQuantity> under <ram:IncludedSupplyChainTradeLineItem><ram:SpecifiedLineTradeDelivery>.
