UBL-CR-174
What does UBL-CR-174 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingSupplierParty Party PartyTaxScheme TaxScheme Name
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-174?
This EN 16931 rule warns when the UBL element cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyTaxScheme/cac:TaxScheme/cbc:Name is present: the invoice should not include a tax scheme name inside the seller's tax registration. The core model identifies the tax scheme by its ID alone (e.g. "VAT" for BT-31); a free-text scheme Name has no business term and adds no interoperable meaning. The element is not forbidden by UBL itself, but it lies outside the EN 16931 core invoice model, so remove it to keep the invoice fully conformant and interoperable.
Official rule text
A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingSupplierParty Party PartyTaxScheme TaxScheme Name
Common causes
- Mapping emits both cbc:ID and cbc:Name for the TaxScheme
- Template copied from a full UBL 2.1 example
- ERP writes the human-readable tax name ("Value Added Tax") alongside the code
