EN 16931Error
A line, allowance or charge uses VAT category M (IPSI; category M (IPSI) is the tax used instead of VAT in Ceuta and Melilla), but the VAT breakdown (BG-23) contains no entry with category M (at least one is required). Usually the line was coded M but the breakdown was built with a different category; the sender must add a cac:TaxSubtotal / ram:ApplicableTradeTax with category M or fix the line's category (BT-151/BT-95/BT-102).
