UBL-SR-15: Buyer name shall occur maximum once
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL
Original rule text
[UBL-SR-15]-Buyer name shall occur maximum once
(count(cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName) <= 1)UBL-SR-15 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
In a UBL invoice or credit note, the element cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName (buyer name) must occur at most once. The rule is fatal, so a document with more than one such element fails validation. Zero occurrences are allowed by this rule.
How to fix
Remove all but one cbc:RegistrationName element under cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity. Check that the buyer party legal entity contains a single buyer name; if duplicates exist, delete the extras. This applies to both Invoice and CreditNote.
