Why This Error Matters

The Clean Vehicle Directive (CVD) requires consistent data when reporting clean vehicle purchases. The CVD classification must be present whenever the cva attribute is used. Missing this causes validation failures for German XRechnung CVD invoices.

How to Fix It

Code Example

<cac:CommodityClassification>
  <cbc:ItemClassificationCode listID="CVD">M1</cbc:ItemClassificationCode>
</cac:CommodityClassification>

Technical Details

XPath: cac:InvoiceLine/cac:Item/cac:CommodityClassification/cbc:ItemClassificationCode[@listID="CVD"]. When BT-160 (Item attribute name) equals "cva", there must be exactly one BT-158 (Item classification identifier) with scheme identifier "CVD".

Common Causes

cva AdditionalItemProperty added without corresponding CVD classification
CVD classification element missing from invoice line
Wrong listID used on ItemClassificationCode (not CVD)
Vehicle category code placed in wrong XML element
