What does UBL-CR-357 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the Delivery DeliveryLocation Name

Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-357?

The invoice should not contain the Name element inside DeliveryLocation (cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cbc:Name). In EN 16931 the deliver-to party name (BT-70) is carried in cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryParty/cac:PartyName/cbc:Name, and the location itself is described only by its identifier (BT-71) and address (BG-15).

Official rule text

A UBL invoice should not include the Delivery DeliveryLocation Name

Common causes

The deliver-to party name is mapped onto the location instead of cac:DeliveryParty
A named location record from a logistics system is serialised as-is

How do I fix it?

<cac:Delivery>
  <cac:DeliveryLocation>
    <cbc:ID schemeID="0088">7300010000001</cbc:ID>
  </cac:DeliveryLocation>
  <cac:DeliveryParty>
    <cac:PartyName><cbc:Name>Warehouse North</cbc:Name></cac:PartyName>
  </cac:DeliveryParty>
</cac:Delivery>
<!-- the deliver-to name (BT-70) goes on DeliveryParty, not DeliveryLocation -->
