UBL-SR-14: Seller additional legal information shall occur maximum once
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL
Original rule text
[UBL-SR-14]-Seller additional legal information shall occur maximum once
(count(cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyLegalForm) <= 1)UBL-SR-14 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 the seller party (cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity), the cbc:CompanyLegalForm element (message: “Seller additional legal information”) occurs no more than once. The test counts occurrences and requires the count to be at most 1, so a document with two or more such elements in that location fails validation. Severity is fatal, so the document is rejected.
How to fix
In the invoice or credit note, inspect cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity. Ensure there is at most one cbc:CompanyLegalForm element. If multiple exist, remove all but one, retaining the correct seller legal form. In the producing system, avoid emitting repeated cbc:CompanyLegalForm elements for the seller.
