UBL-CR-176
What does UBL-CR-176 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingSupplierParty Party PartyTaxScheme TaxScheme CurrencyCode
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-176?
This EN 16931 rule warns when the UBL element cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyTaxScheme/cac:TaxScheme/cbc:CurrencyCode is present: the invoice should not include a currency code inside the seller's tax scheme. Currency in EN 16931 is stated at document level (BT-5, and BT-6 for VAT accounting currency); a currency attached to the tax scheme is outside the core model. 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 CurrencyCode
Common causes
- ERP export duplicates the invoice currency into every currency-capable UBL element
- Template derived from a fully populated UBL 2.1 sample
- Confusion with the VAT accounting currency, which belongs in cbc:TaxCurrencyCode at document level
