BR-05 — Missing currency code

What it means

The invoice currency code is missing (e.g. EUR). Without it, there's no way to tell what currency all the amounts in the invoice are stated in.

How to fix it

Check that the invoice XML contains a DocumentCurrencyCode element with a valid ISO 4217 code (usually EUR in Latvia). This field usually fills in automatically based on the company's default currency in the accounting software.

Example

Wrong: the DocumentCurrencyCode element is missing. Correct: <cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode>EUR</cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode>.
