BR-CL-01: Invoice type code must be a valid UNTDID 1001 code

Explained by Matheel from ZATCA's rule text and the condition SDK 3.4.8 executes · Updated October 24, 2026

Error: the invoice is rejectedAll invoicesFields: —

Checks that the value of cbc:InvoiceTypeCode (or cbc:CreditNoteTypeCode) is a single code, without spaces, from the UNTDID 1001 subset listed in the rule; for cbc:InvoiceTypeCode the list includes 388, 381 and 383, which the official samples use for invoices, credit notes and debit notes.

How to fix it

Use one of the listed codes as the element value, e.g. <cbc:InvoiceTypeCode name="0100000">388</cbc:InvoiceTypeCode>, with no extra spaces or text.
