What does this mean?

If an invoice line has an item attribute named (BT-160) "cva", the same line must contain exactly one item classification (BT-158) with scheme "CVD". The line has none or several such classifications.

Typical causes

The attribute cva was given, but the classification with scheme CVD was forgotten.
The classification is in a different line.
Several classifications with scheme CVD were added in the same line.

How to fix the error

In every line with attribute cva, provide exactly one classification with scheme CVD and the vehicle category (M1, M2, M3, N1, N2 or N3); remove surplus CVD classifications.
CII: ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct/ram:DesignatedProductClassification/ram:ClassCode with listID="CVD", UBL: cac:Item/cac:CommodityClassification/cbc:ItemClassificationCode with listID="CVD".
Generate and validate the invoice again.

In E-Rechnungsfreund

In the invoice form ("Experte" view), section "Rechnungspositionen (BG-25)" (invoice lines), add exactly one entry with "Schema (BT-158-1)" CVD in the tab "Klassifizierungen (BT-158)" of the line with attribute cva, or remove surplus entries.

Example

Wrong

<ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct>
  <ram:Name>Electric bus</ram:Name>
  <ram:ApplicableProductCharacteristic>
    <ram:Description>cva</ram:Description>
    <ram:Value>zero-emission</ram:Value>
  </ram:ApplicableProductCharacteristic>
</ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct>

Correct

<ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct>
  <ram:Name>Electric bus</ram:Name>
  <ram:ApplicableProductCharacteristic>
    <ram:Description>cva</ram:Description>
    <ram:Value>zero-emission</ram:Value>
  </ram:ApplicableProductCharacteristic>
  <ram:DesignatedProductClassification>
    <ram:ClassCode listID="CVD">M3</ram:ClassCode>
  </ram:DesignatedProductClassification>
</ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct>
