UBL-CR-217
What does UBL-CR-217 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the AccountingCustomerParty Party PostalAddress BuildingName
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-217?
This EN 16931 rule warns when the UBL element cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress/cbc:BuildingName is present: the invoice should not include a building name element on the buyer postal address. Building names are not individual terms in the EN 16931 address model; they should be written into one of the generic address lines (BT-50, BT-51, BT-163) instead. 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.
