What does UBL-CR-682 mean? A UBL invoice should not include the Delivery DeliveryAddress

Why did my invoice fail UBL-CR-682?

The cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryAddress element should not be used in an EN 16931 UBL invoice. The core model places the deliver-to address (BG-15) inside cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address, so DeliveryAddress directly under Delivery is outside the model and validators warn.

Official rule text

A UBL invoice should not include the Delivery DeliveryAddress

Common causes

Delivery address serialized as Delivery/DeliveryAddress instead of Delivery/DeliveryLocation/Address
Using a generic UBL 2.1 sample as the mapping template

How do I fix it?

<cac:Delivery>
  <cac:DeliveryLocation>
    <cac:Address>
      <cbc:CityName>Ljubljana</cbc:CityName>
      <cbc:PostalZone>1000</cbc:PostalZone>
      <cac:Country><cbc:IdentificationCode>SI</cbc:IdentificationCode></cac:Country>
    </cac:Address>
  </cac:DeliveryLocation>
</cac:Delivery>
