UBL-CR-668

warningEN 16931syntax binding ruleUBL

A UBL invoice should not include a Sellers Item Identification schemeID

Why it fails

The seller's item identification carries a schemeID.

How to fix it

Remove schemeID from SellersItemIdentification/cbc:ID. Only the STANDARD item identifier (BT-157) takes a scheme, e.g. 0160 for a GTIN.

…or paste the XML instead

Nothing is stored, and the whole invoice is checked, not just this rule. A PDF only works if it is Factur-X / ZUGFeRD — a PDF with the invoice XML inside it.
