UBL-CR-100
What does UBL-CR-100 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the ContractDocumentReference Xpath
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-100?
EN 16931 states that a UBL invoice should not include the cbc:Xpath child of cac:ContractDocumentReference. In the core invoice model this element carries the contract reference (BT-12), for which the core model only uses the document identifier (cac:ContractDocumentReference/cbc:ID), so cbc:Xpath 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 ContractDocumentReference Xpath
Common causes
- The exporter emits cbc:XPath to point at a location inside the referenced document, which the core model does not support.
- A full UBL 2.1 document model is serialised without pruning it to the EN 16931 subset.
