What does UBL-CR-675 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the NetworkID schemeID

Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-675?

The schemeID attribute on cac:CardAccount/cbc:NetworkID should not be used. EN 16931 maps only the card network value itself; the attribute is outside the core invoice model, so validators flag it. Provide the network as plain element content.

Official rule text

A UBL invoice should not include the NetworkID schemeID

Common causes

UBL serializer adds schemeID to all coded elements automatically
Reusing a full UBL 2.1 template not restricted to the EN 16931 subset

How do I fix it?

<cac:CardAccount>
  <cbc:PrimaryAccountNumber>1234********5678</cbc:PrimaryAccountNumber>
  <cbc:NetworkID>VISA</cbc:NetworkID>
</cac:CardAccount>
