Original rule text

[UBL-CR-546]-A UBL invoice should not include the InvoiceLine DocumentReference IssuerParty

Stored validation assertion
not((cac:InvoiceLine|cac:CreditNoteLine)/cac:DocumentReference/cac:IssuerParty)

UBL-CR-546 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

The rule requires that a UBL invoice or credit note must not contain an IssuerParty inside any DocumentReference that belongs to a cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine. The test fails if any line-level DocumentReference has an IssuerParty. This is a warning, so the document is not rejected but the validator reports it.

How to fix

In each cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine, check every cac:DocumentReference and remove the cac:IssuerParty child element if present. In the producing system, stop generating cac:IssuerParty inside line-level document references.
