UBL-CR-178
What does UBL-CR-178 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingSupplierParty Party PartyLegalEntity RegistrationDate
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-178?
This EN 16931 rule warns when the UBL element cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationDate is present: the invoice should not include the seller company's registration date in PartyLegalEntity. The core model keeps only the legal name (BT-27), legal registration identifier (BT-30) and additional legal information (BT-33) for the seller legal entity; the registration date is not one of these. 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.

- Template based on a complete UBL 2.1 PartyLegalEntity example
