XPath Condition

exists(cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode) and cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode = $ISO4217-CURRENCIES

Target XML Path

cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode

Find the source field

cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode

Match namespace URI and element name, not a particular prefix spelling. The validator reports the full expanded-name source path when the published rule supplies a location.

Common causes

• A lowercase currency code was exported.
• A currency name or symbol was used instead of a 3-letter ISO 4217 code.
• The code is absent from the selected release’s list.

Invalid and corrected fragments

<cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode>eur</cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode>

<cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode>EUR</cbc:DocumentCurrencyCode>

Use the actual invoice currency from source records. A recognized code can be uppercased only after confirmation; never guess the currency from an amount or a party address.

These are fragments, not complete invoices. The exact rule is exercised by synthetic mutation tests against the stated package. Correcting one field does not prove conformance; run the full selected validator again. Published messages and severity remain authoritative.
