{
  "rule": "BR-CL-17",
  "field": "BT-118",
  "severity": "fatal",
  "message": "The VAT breakdown (BG-23) in this document states a VAT category code (BT-118) of \"Q\", which is not in UNTDID 5305. EN 16931 admits exactly 10 codes: \"AE\", \"L\", \"M\", \"E\", \"S\", \"Z\", \"G\", \"O\", \"K\", \"B\".",

xpath is always a UBL path. On a CII invoice, look for the matching CII field instead.
