Warning

UBL-CR-617: Item attributes should not have a range dimension

In short

Warning: worth checking.

UBL-CR-617 means an item attribute on a line contains cac:RangeDimension, which EN 16931 does not use. Write any measurement range you need to retain as plain text in the attribute value and remove cac:RangeDimension.

On this page

What it means

An item attribute (BG-32) has a value (BT-161) in plain text. This rule checks that the attribute has no cac:RangeDimension inside cac:AdditionalItemProperty, regardless of which limits it contains. It looks at every line of the invoice or credit note.

Why it matters

EN 16931 does not use a separate range dimension within an item attribute.

How to fix it

Write any measurement range you need to retain in cbc:Value, for example "width 20 to 30 cm". Delete cac:RangeDimension from cac:AdditionalItemProperty under cac:Item on every affected invoice line or credit note line. Check the corrected file again.
