BR-KSA-EN16931-06: Price-level allowance/charge must have ChargeIndicator false

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

Error: the invoice is rejectedConditional, see belowFields: BG-29

Applies to cac:InvoiceLine/cac:Price/cac:AllowanceCharge. Its cbc:ChargeIndicator must be false, because a charge on price level is not allowed; the executed check fails only when the indicator is true.

How to fix it

Use <cbc:ChargeIndicator>false</cbc:ChargeIndicator> in the price-level cac:AllowanceCharge, so it only expresses a discount on the item price.
