Business rules error for multiple PartyIdentification tags

Clearance and Reporting
1

Standard invoices are getting rejected with error response “BUSINESS_RULES | Unable to execute Business Rules validation ->” when XML contains multiple PartyIdentification tags.
Refer below sample XML tag:

<cac:AccountingSupplierParty>
		<cac:Party>
			<cac:PartyIdentification>
				<cbc:ID schemeID="CRN">124483</cbc:ID>
			</cac:PartyIdentification>
			<cac:PartyIdentification>
				<cbc:ID schemeID="MOM">29336</cbc:ID>
			</cac:PartyIdentification>

Invoices were getting cleared successfully with same XML tag so far. However, we started facing rejections recently and we are unable to process several documents because of this.

Please guide us with the corrective actions to resolve this issue.

Hi @dev.cksatc

I am ordinary user as you are and not anyhow connected with ZATCA officials.

But according to the business rule BR-08-KSA you should have ONLY ONE identification. If you have multiple, you should choose only one based on priority.

BR-KSA-08:
The seller identification (BT-29) must exist only once with one of the scheme
ID (BT-29-1) (CRN, MOM, MLS, SAG, OTH) and must contain only alphanumeric
characters.

- Commercial Registration number with "CRN" as schemeID.
- Momra license with "MOM" as schemeID.
- MHRSD license with "MLS" as schemeID.
- 700 Number with "700" as schemeID.
- MISA license with "SAG" as schemeID.
- Other OD with "OTH" as schemeID.

In case of multiple commercial registrations, the seller should fill the
commercial registration of the branch in respect of which the Tax Invoice
is being issued. In case multiple IDs exist then one of the above must be
entered following the sequence specified above.

In your case you should use only CRN and then you will not have any issues.

Best regards,
Sergei

Thank you, @Sergei.shishov. We appreciate your views on this query.

This question arises due to last part of the rule where it said, “In case multiple IDs exist then one of the above must be entered following the sequence specified above.”

Earlier we were able to submit the document successfully by mentioning more than one seller identification as per mentioned sequence. It would be great if @Ankit_Tiwari can help us to get more clarity for the same.

Dear @dev.cksatc BR-KSA-08 intends to limit the Additional Seller ID (BT-29) to one of the listed IDs. May I ask if there any specific need for providing multiple additional IDs (BT-29)?
