What does UBL-SR-02 mean? Receive advice identifier shall occur maximum once
Why did my invoice fail UBL-SR-02?
The Receiving advice reference (BT-15) may occur at most once on the invoice, so only a single cac:ReceiptDocumentReference is allowed. This business term links the invoice to one receiving/receipt advice, and EN 16931 permits no more than one such reference.
Official rule text
Receive advice identifier shall occur maximum once
Common causes
- Multiple cac:ReceiptDocumentReference elements are present on the invoice.
- Several goods-receipt notes were each mapped to a separate ReceiptDocumentReference.
- A receiving advice reference was duplicated during mapping from the source system.
How do I fix it?
Keep exactly one: <cac:ReceiptDocumentReference><cbc:ID>RCV-ADV-451</cbc:ID></cac:ReceiptDocumentReference> and remove any extra occurrences.
