Official rule text

[FOREIGN_CURRENCY_TAX_PLN] Foreign currency invoice with tax amounts should include PLN conversions in P_14_*W fields (§9.3)

Why this error occurs

KSeF checks the FA(3) XML in two stages: XSD schema (structure, element order, data types, patterns such as NIP or dates) and semantic rules from the Ministry of Finance information sheet (consistency of amounts, annotations P_16 to P_23, roles of Podmiot2/Podmiot3, bank account formats, currency rates).

How to fix it

Fix the element named in the message. For XSD errors compare the element order and value pattern with the FA(3) schema; for semantic errors apply the cause and fix hints listed on this page. Re-validate before submitting to KSeF: a rejected invoice has no KSeF number and is not issued.
