UBL-CR-543: A UBL invoice should not include the InvoiceLine DocumentReference DocumentDescription
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL
Original rule text
[UBL-CR-543]-A UBL invoice should not include the InvoiceLine DocumentReference DocumentDescription
not((cac:InvoiceLine|cac:CreditNoteLine)/cac:DocumentReference/cbc:DocumentDescription)UBL-CR-543 is a warning rule in the schema layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is flagged but not rejected.
What this rule requires
For a UBL invoice or credit note, no line (cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine) may have a cac:DocumentReference that contains a cbc:DocumentDescription. The test is not(...), so any such element triggers the report. This is a warning-level rule, so the document is not rejected; the validator reports the presence of the element.
How to fix
Remove the cbc:DocumentDescription element from any cac:DocumentReference inside cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine. In the producing system, do not generate DocumentDescription under line-level DocumentReference. The rule does not forbid DocumentReference itself, only the DocumentDescription child.
