UBL-CR-079
What does UBL-CR-079 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the OriginatorDocumentReference UUID
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-079?
EN 16931 states that a UBL invoice should not include the cbc:UUID child of cac:OriginatorDocumentReference. In the core invoice model this element carries the tender or lot reference (BT-17), for which the core model only uses the document identifier (cac:OriginatorDocumentReference/cbc:ID), so cbc:UUID lies outside the standard's subset of UBL and validators flag its presence. It is a warning-level cardinality rule: the extra data is ignored by receivers that implement only the core model.
Official rule text
A UBL invoice should not include the OriginatorDocumentReference UUID
Common causes
- The ERP exports its internal GUID for the referenced document as cbc:UUID instead of putting the reference in cbc:ID.
- A mapping template fills both cbc:ID and cbc:UUID with the same identifier 'to be safe'.
