The item "Buyer / Seller" in Open Derivatives must be reported for derivatives other than forwards (CIC ##E#) (S.08.01, EIOPA rule BV803)

The rule in plain words

EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV803-1 and BV803-2), and a failure names the one that failed.

What to do if your return fails it

1. 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
2. 02Report a value in this cell where the rule applies. A 0 counts as reported; a cell left out of the return does not.
3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.08.01 as reported.
4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The cells it reads

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on quarterly solo (QRS), quarterly group (QRG) and quarterly branch (QRB) returns on EIOPA taxonomy 2.10.0. EIOPA applies it to quarterly group (QRG), annual group (ARG), quarterly ECB branch (QEB), quarterly ECB solo (QES), quarterly branch (QRB), quarterly solo (QRS), annual branch (ARB), annual solo (ARS), annual ECB solo (AES) and annual ECB branch (AEB) returns, as a blocking check.
