CII-SR-224: Seller's legal organisation should not have its own name

What it means

The seller name (BT-27) belongs in the Name directly under SellerTradeParty. The legal organisation of the seller may only hold the company registration number (BT-30) and the trading name (BT-28), so the rule checks that it has no Name of its own.

Why it matters

This is a warning, so the invoice is still accepted. The recipient reads the seller name from the seller itself, so a name inside the legal organisation is ignored. If that is the only place your name appears, the required seller name is missing, which is a bigger problem.

How to fix it

Check that SellerTradeParty has its own Name with your registered business name. Then delete Name from SpecifiedLegalOrganization. If you use a different trading name, put it in TradingBusinessName in the same place.
