A UBL invoice should not include the BillingReference UUID

Why it fails

The element 'BillingReference UUID' is present, but it carries no meaning in the EN 16931 semantic model, so a receiver is free to ignore or reject it.

How to fix it

Remove 'BillingReference UUID' from the document. Nothing in EN 16931 maps to it - it is almost always left over from a generic UBL template. Reported as a warning.
