CII-SR-239: Seller contact should not have a telex number

What it means

In a CII file, the seller's contact (BG-6) has fields for a name (BT-41), a phone number (BT-42) and an email address (BT-43). This rule warns when the contact also has a TelexUniversalCommunication element.

Why it matters

This is a warning, so the invoice is still accepted. The standard has no telex field, so the buyer's software will normally ignore the number.

How to fix it

Clear the telex entry on the seller's contact in your invoicing software, or stop it being exported. If you edit the XML by hand, delete the TelexUniversalCommunication element inside the seller's DefinedTradeContact. Nothing needs to move to another field.
