Warning

UBL-CR-619: A line should not name the manufacturer as a party

In short

Warning: worth checking.

UBL-CR-619 means a line contains cac:ManufacturerParty for the item's manufacturer, which EN 16931 does not use. Remove this group and, if you need to retain the manufacturer's name, write it in the item description.

What it means

This rule checks that the item information on a line (BG-31) has no manufacturer party group (cac:ManufacturerParty), a group for details of the party that made the item. The item country of origin (BT-159) is a separate field and is not checked by this rule. It looks at every line of the invoice or credit note.

Why it matters

EN 16931 does not use a separate manufacturer party group in line item information.

How to fix it

If you need to retain the manufacturer's name, add it to the item description (BT-154). Delete cac:ManufacturerParty from cac:Item on every affected invoice line or credit note line. Check the corrected file again.

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