Validation Mode

From version 1.4.17 it will be possible to relax the validation rules for generating invoice XML. Certain invalidated rules will be tolerated by setting the validation_mode to lax.

The current example involves the packaging units (BT-130 and BT-150) of invoice lines. They should comply to the given enums, however it is currently tolerated if they don't. The invoice payload of /v1/xml/ubl and /v1/xml/cii now has a flag called validation_mode which can be set to strict or lax. Setting it to lax it allows to pass any string value to BT-130 and BT-150.

{
  ...
  "validation_mode": "strict",
  "invoice_line": [
    {
      "invoiced_quantity_unit_of_measure_code": "H87", // enum is mandatory
      ...
      "price_details": {
        ...
        "item_price_base_quantity_unit_of_measure_code": "H87",  // enum is mandatory
      },
      ...
    }
  ]
}

{
  ...
  "validation_mode": "strict",
  "invoice_line": [
    {
      "invoiced_quantity_unit_of_measure_code": "piece", // enum or any string
      ...
      "price_details": {
        ...
        "item_price_base_quantity_unit_of_measure_code": "piece",  // enum or any string
      },
      ...
    }
  ]
}

The individual tolerations might change in the future, based on the changes of the recommendations of KoSIT.
