UBL-CR-338
What does UBL-CR-338 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the TaxRepresentativeParty AgentParty
Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-338?
The invoice should not contain the AgentParty element under the tax representative party (cac:TaxRepresentativeParty/cac:AgentParty). Nested agent-party structures have no counterpart in the EN 16931 core model, which flattens each invoice party into a small fixed set of terms.
