What does UBL-CR-302 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the TaxRepresentativeParty PartyIdentification

Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-302?

cac:TaxRepresentativeParty/cac:PartyIdentification should not be included: EN 16931 identifies the tax representative only by its name (BT-62) and VAT identifier (BT-63, in cac:PartyTaxScheme/cbc:CompanyID), not by a separate party identifier.

Official rule text

A UBL invoice should not include the TaxRepresentativeParty PartyIdentification

Common causes

Putting the representative's VAT or business number in PartyIdentification instead of PartyTaxScheme/CompanyID
Reusing the seller/buyer mapping, where PartyIdentification is valid
