Warning

CII-SR-215: Line accounting account must not have an amount type code

In short

Warning: worth checking.

CII-SR-215 means the accounting account on a line has an AmountTypeCode element, which EN 16931 does not use. The invoice is still accepted, and you clear the warning by deleting that element and keeping only the ID.

What it means

A line (BG-25) may give a buyer accounting reference (BT-133) in the ID of ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount. The rule checks that this element has no AmountTypeCode inside it.

Why it matters

This is a warning, so the invoice is still accepted. The recipient reads only the ID of the account, so the amount type code has no effect on how the invoice is handled. Remove it to keep the file within the standard.

How to fix it

Inside ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount on each line, delete AmountTypeCode and keep the ID. If a programme or plug-in adds it, check its export settings for an extended or custom profile and choose EN 16931 or XRechnung instead.
