[UBL-CR-554]-A UBL invoice should not include the InvoiceLine AllowanceCharge SequenceNumeric

Stored validation assertion
not((cac:InvoiceLine|cac:CreditNoteLine)/cac:AllowanceCharge/cbc:SequenceNumeric)

UBL-CR-554 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

The rule advises against a line-level allowance or charge containing a cbc:SequenceNumeric. It applies to cac:InvoiceLine/cac:AllowanceCharge/cbc:SequenceNumeric and cac:CreditNoteLine/cac:AllowanceCharge/cbc:SequenceNumeric. Because the severity is warning, the document is not rejected; the validator reports that the element should not be present.

How to fix

Remove any cbc:SequenceNumeric inside cac:AllowanceCharge that is a child of cac:InvoiceLine or cac:CreditNoteLine. If the invoice is generated by a system, configure it so it does not output SequenceNumeric for line-level allowance/charge entries.
