In India, invoices can contain what is known as a non-invoiced quantity. If this applies, you must use the Free of Charge Indicator element to specify that no charge applies.

If a transaction contains some items that are free of charge and some that are not, you must create an invoice line for the free of charge items (where the Free Charge Indicator is set to true) and one for the items that are not free (where the Free Charge Indicator is set to false).

Element

Use the following sub-elements of the InvoicedQuantity element to model this information:

Element	Cardinality	Description
Invoiced Quantity (`Invoice/InvoiceLine/InvoicedQuantity`)	1..1	Specify the quantity of the item.
Invoiced Quantity Unit of Measure (`Invoice/InvoiceLine/InvoicedQuantity @unitCode`)	1..1	Specify the unit code that identifies the unit of measure. Use a value from here .

Use the FreeOfChargeIndicator element to indicate whether charges apply to the goods and services in the line:

Name (Path)	Cardinality	Description
Free of Charge Indicator (`Invoice/InvoiceLine/FreeOfChargeIndicator`)	0..1	If set to `true`, this indicates that all the goods or services in the line are free of charge.

Restrictions

You must use either the VRBL or UNECE value for the Invoiced Quantity Unit of Measure element:
