BR-CO-21

fatalEN 16931EN 16931 business ruleCIIUBLBG-20BT-97BT-98

Each Document level allowance (BG-20) shall contain a Document level allowance reason (BT-97) or a Document level allowance reason code (BT-98), or both.

Why it fails

A document level allowance (BG-20) has neither a reason text (BT-97) nor a reason code (BT-98).

How to fix it

Add a reason. A free-text BT-97 such as 'Volume discount' is enough and is the safer choice; add BT-98 (UNTDID 5189, e.g. 95 = Discount) only if you are sure the code matches the text - see BR-CO-05.
