BR-G-06 Export allowance VAT rate must be zero

In a document level allowance (BG-20) where the document level allowance VAT category code (BT-95) is "Export outside the EU" (G), the document level allowance VAT rate (BT-96) shall be 0 (zero).

A document level allowance with category G belongs to the export and carries no VAT, so its rate must be 0. In practice, the error occurs when a document level discount on an export invoice is created with the default domestic rate.

Solution

Set the allowance TaxCategory/cbc:Percent (BT-96) to 0 whenever the document level allowance category is G.
