CII-SR-147: Leave out the requisition reference on a line

What it means

The rule checks the agreement block of each invoice line. It must not contain a RequisitionerReferencedDocument, a reference to the internal request that someone at the buyer filed before the order.

Why it matters

This is a warning, so the invoice goes through. The standard has no field for a requisition on a line, so the recipient's software can ignore it without telling anyone. If the buyer matches invoices on that number, the match may fail.

How to fix it

Switch off the requisition or request number in your invoicing software's e-invoice export, usually found where line references are set. If the buyer wants the number quoted, the standard offers the purchase order number (BT-13), the order line reference (BT-132) and the buyer reference (BT-10). Ask the buyer which one their system reads.
