Warning

UBL-CR-360: Leave out the address type code on the delivery address

In short

Warning: worth checking.

UBL-CR-360 means the address of the delivery location has an address type code (cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address/cbc:AddressTypeCode), which EN 16931 does not use. Remove the code.

What it means

The rule checks that the delivery address (cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address) has no address type code (cbc:AddressTypeCode). In UBL that field says what kind of address it is. EN 16931 carries the parts of the deliver-to address, such as street, city, postcode and country (BG-15), but does not use this address type code.

Why it matters

EN 16931 does not use an address type code inside the deliver-to address (BG-15).

How to fix it

Clear the address type in the delivery data of your invoicing software and export again. The street, city, postcode and country of the deliver-to address stay as they are. If you build the XML yourself, delete the cbc:AddressTypeCode directly under cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address.
