CII-SR-315: Delivery party must not have an end point address

What it means

The delivery party (ShipToTradeParty) has a name, location identifier and address. This rule checks that it has no EndPointURIUniversalCommunication, a separate element for the address where a party receives electronic documents. In an e-invoice that address is given for the seller (BT-34) and the buyer (BT-49) only.

Why it matters

An end point address on the delivery party is not used to route the invoice; it goes to the buyer's electronic address (BT-49). The invoice is not rejected, but the element does nothing.

How to fix it

Check whether the delivery address in your software has a Peppol ID or other end point field, and clear it or stop it being exported. If the invoice should go to another recipient, change the buyer's electronic address instead. If the element keeps coming back, choose the EN 16931 profile or ask the software supplier why it is written.
