  ValidateFin sample file — UBL invoice, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (EN 16931).
  REVERSE CHARGE (VAT category AE): a French supplier invoices services to a German
  business; VAT is accounted for by the customer, so the rate is 0 % and no VAT is
  charged. BR-AE-02 requires BOTH VAT identifiers, BR-AE-05 the 0 % rate, BR-AE-09
  a VAT category tax amount of 0.00 and BR-AE-10 an exemption reason.
  Expected validation result: VALID — 2 lines, 2 500.00 EUR, VAT 0.00 EUR.

  All parties and account numbers are fictitious.

Cómo sabemos que estos resultados se sostienen

Cada fichero de esta biblioteca pasa por el propio validador del sitio en cada build. El resultado esperado indicado arriba lo verifica un test automatizado: si un fichero dejara de coincidir con lo que afirma esta página, el build fallaría. Dos fixtures heredadas se repararon así antes de publicarse: tres IBAN no superaban el mod-97 y varios nombres usaban caracteres fuera del juego SEPA básico.
