BR-DE-CVD-05: cva attribute value is not in the allowed list

Severity: fatal · Syntax: CII, UBL

Official message

Wenn innerhalb von {name()} ITEM ATTRIBUTES (BG-32) der {name()} "Item attribute name" (BT-160) den Wert 'cva' hat, muss der {name()} "Item attribute value" (BT-161) einen der zulässigen Werte enthalten.

What this means

When item attribute name (BT-160) is cva, item attribute value (BT-161) must be one of CVA-CODES: clean, zero-emission, other. The UBL assertion compares normalize-space(cbc:Value) with that set.

Typical cause

The value is translated or capitalised, for example "Clean".

How to fix it

Set exactly clean, zero-emission or other.

UBL

<cac:AdditionalItemProperty>
