UBL-CR-195
What does UBL-CR-195 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingSupplierParty Party ServiceProviderParty
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-195?
This EN 16931 rule warns when the UBL element cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:ServiceProviderParty is present: the invoice should not include a service provider party nested under the seller. EN 16931 does not model service providers (e.g. e-invoicing intermediaries) inside the invoice; routing is handled by the transport infrastructure, and only the parties defined by the standard may appear. 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 ServiceProviderParty
Common causes
- The e-invoicing service provider or access point was embedded in the party data
- Mapping from a national format that identified intermediaries in the invoice
- Full UBL 2.1 export enabling every optional party structure
