UBL-CR-210
What does UBL-CR-210 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingCustomerParty Party PostalAddress ID
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-210?
This EN 16931 rule warns when the UBL element cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress/cbc:ID is present: the invoice should not include an identifier on the buyer postal address. The buyer postal address (BG-8) consists of address lines, city, post code, country subdivision and country code; an address ID is not one of its terms. 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.
