Warning

CII-SR-430: Remove the accounting amount type code

In short

Warning: worth checking.

CII-SR-430 warns that your invoice-level ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount contains AmountTypeCode. Remove that child element without deleting the buyer accounting reference (BT-19) held in ID, then recheck your file.

On this page

What it means

Checks that no ram:ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement contains a ram:AmountTypeCode child.

Why it matters

AmountTypeCode is not part of the EN 16931 CII representation of the invoice-level buyer accounting reference (BT-19). The warning does not check your VAT calculation, amount due or recipient acceptance.

How to fix it

Remove ram:AmountTypeCode only from ram:ReceivableSpecifiedTradeAccountingAccount in the header settlement. Keep ram:ID if it holds your buyer accounting reference (BT-19). If your software adds the code, ask your software supplier to correct the export. Recheck the file.

Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Validate an invoice against EN 16931
