Missing VeriFACTU hash chain in Spain

This is the rejection, word for word: „[BR-ES-02] Spanish VeriFACTU invoices must include the hash chain for audit trail.“

Why this matters in Spain

Spain requires (B2G) e-invoicing using Facturae 3.2.x. An invoice with this error is rejected; it cannot be processed under Spain's rules.

VeriFACTU requires chained hashes for tamper-proof audit trail.
