UBL-CR-646

A UBL invoice should not include the InvoiceLine SubInvoiceLine

warning: reported, still valid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • An invoice line has sub-lines (cac:SubInvoiceLine), which EN 16931 does not know; they are dropped when the invoice is processed.
  • An XRechnung Extension invoice uses sub-lines but declares the standard XRechnung identifier, so the rules of the core profile apply.

How to fix it

Turn sub-lines into lines of their own, or describe them in the line note (BT-127). For German public buyers that accept it, the XRechnung Extension allows sub-lines: declare urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#conformant#urn:xeinkauf.de:kosit:extension:xrechnung_3.0.

What the rule checks

As the rule set's publisher wrote it. The rule runs on every element the context matches, and fails where the test is false; the validator reports the line of that element.
