UBL-CR-524: A UBL invoice should not include the InvoiceLine InvoicePeriod Description
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL
Original rule text
[UBL-CR-524]-A UBL invoice should not include the InvoiceLine InvoicePeriod Description
not((cac:InvoiceLine|cac:CreditNoteLine)/cac:InvoicePeriod/cbc:Description)UBL-CR-524 is a warning rule in the schema layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is flagged but not rejected.
What this rule requires
This warning rule checks that an Invoice or CreditNote does not contain a cbc:Description inside cac:InvoicePeriod within any cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine. The test is not((cac:InvoiceLine|cac:CreditNoteLine)/cac:InvoicePeriod/cbc:Description), so it triggers if any line has an invoice period description. Because the severity is warning, the document is not rejected; the validator reports it as an advisory issue.
How to fix
Remove the cbc:Description element from cac:InvoicePeriod in every cac:InvoiceLine (for an Invoice) or cac:CreditNoteLine (for a CreditNote). If your system generates line-level invoice period descriptions, configure it not to output that element for these document types.
