Warning

CII-SR-323: Delivery event must not carry a type code

In short

Warning: worth checking.

CII-SR-323 means the delivery event in the file has a TypeCode, which EN 16931 does not use. It is a warning, so the file is still accepted; remove the TypeCode element from the delivery event.

What it means

The delivery event (ActualDeliverySupplyChainEvent) carries the delivery date (BT-72). This rule checks that it has no TypeCode, a code that says what kind of event it is.

Why it matters

The place of the event in the file already says it is the delivery, so the code adds nothing a recipient can use. The invoice is not rejected, but the code is not expected to be read.

How to fix it

The code is written by the software, so there is usually no field for you to clear. Look in the export or format settings and choose the EN 16931 profile rather than a fuller one. If it still appears, ask the software supplier to stop writing a TypeCode on the delivery event.
