UBL-SR-13: Seller tax registration shall occur maximum once
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL
Original rule text
[UBL-SR-13]-Seller tax registration shall occur maximum once
(count(cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyTaxScheme[cac:TaxScheme/upper-case(cbc:ID)!='VAT']/cbc:CompanyID) <= 1)UBL-SR-13 is a fatal rule in the schema layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected.
What this rule requires
The rule requires that in a UBL invoice or credit note, among cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyTaxScheme entries whose cac:TaxScheme/cbc:ID is not VAT (case-insensitive), there is at most one cbc:CompanyID. The message says seller tax registration shall occur maximum once, but the test as written counts only non-VAT tax schemes; VAT-typed tax schemes are not counted. A document fails because more than one such non-VAT cbc:CompanyID is present.
How to fix
Ensure that the cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyTaxScheme elements with a cac:TaxScheme/cbc:ID other than VAT contain no more than one cbc:CompanyID. If more than one is present, remove the additional non-VAT cac:PartyTaxScheme or its cbc:CompanyID, leaving at most one. VAT-typed cac:PartyTaxScheme entries are not restricted by this rule.
