UBL-CR-017
What does UBL-CR-017 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the OrderReference UUID
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-017?
The cbc:UUID element inside cac:OrderReference should not be included. Only the order identifier itself (BT-13, cbc:ID) — and for Peppol the sales order ID — belong in the order reference.
