What does DK-R-003 mean? If ItemClassification is provided from Danish suppliers, UNSPSC version 19.05.01 or 26.08.01 should be used.

Why did my invoice fail DK-R-003?

When a Danish supplier provides an item classification (ItemClassification), it should use UNSPSC codes from version 19.05.01 or 26.08.01. Pinning the code-list versions ensures Danish receivers interpret the classification codes against a known edition of UNSPSC. In UBL the classification is cac:Item/cac:CommodityClassification/cbc:ItemClassificationCode with listID identifying UNSPSC and listVersionID giving the version.
