UBL-CR-355

warningEN 16931syntax binding ruleUBL

A UBL invoice should not include the Delivery DeliveryLocation LocationTypeCode

Why it fails

The element 'Delivery DeliveryLocation LocationTypeCode' 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 'Delivery DeliveryLocation LocationTypeCode' 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.
