UBL-CR-158
What does UBL-CR-158 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingSupplierParty Party PostalAddress MarkAttention
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-158?
The invoice should not contain the element cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress/cbc:MarkAttention, i.e. a mark-attention field on the seller postal address. This is one of the EN 16931 "cardinality restriction" (UBL-CR) warnings: the UBL 2.1 schema allows the element, but it maps to no business term in the EN 16931 core invoice model, so a compliant core invoice must leave it out. The seller postal address (BG-5) has no attention-line term; contact persons are expressed through the seller contact group (BG-6). Receivers may ignore or reject data carried in such elements, so remove it or move the information to the supported business term.
Official rule text
A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingSupplierParty Party PostalAddress MarkAttention
Common causes
- Your invoice generator emits the full UBL 2.1 structure and populates cbc:MarkAttention even though EN 16931 does not use it
- Mapping from an internal/ERP data model copies every available field into the UBL output instead of only the EN 16931 business terms
- A template or example invoice from a non-EN 16931 UBL context (e.g. generic UBL samples) was reused without stripping unsupported elements
