UBL-SR-23

fatalEN 16931syntax binding ruleUBL

Seller tax representative VAT identifier shall occur maximum once, if the Seller has a tax representative

Why it fails

The Seller tax representative VAT identifier (BT-63) appears more than once. The Seller tax representative (BG-11) is a single party, so each of its details has one value.

How to fix it

Keep one Seller tax representative VAT identifier (BT-63) and delete the rest. A seller with representatives in several countries names the one representing them for this supply.
