What does PEPPOL-EN16931-P0107 mean? Tax Category AE MUST be used when exemption reason code is VATEX-EU-AE

Why did my invoice fail PEPPOL-EN16931-P0107?

If the exemption reason code VATEX-EU-AE (reverse charge) is used, the tax category code must be AE (VAT reverse charge). Category and reason code must match so the receiver knows the VAT liability shifts to the buyer.
