BR-CL-01
What does BR-CL-01 mean? The document type code MUST be coded by the invoice and credit note related code lists of UNTDID 1001.
Why did my invoice fail BR-CL-01?
The document type code must come from the invoice and credit note related subset of the UNTDID 1001 code list. This ensures receivers can reliably distinguish invoices, credit notes and related document types. In UBL the element is cbc:InvoiceTypeCode (or cbc:CreditNoteTypeCode), commonly 380 for a commercial invoice and 381 for a credit note.
Official rule text

Common causes
- A code outside the invoice/credit-note subset of UNTDID 1001 used
- A free-text or internal document type value instead of a numeric code
- Credit note issued with an invoice type code (or vice versa)
