What does UBL-SR-14 mean? Seller additional legal information shall occur maximum once
Why did my invoice fail UBL-SR-14?
The Seller additional legal information (BT-33), free-text legal details about the seller such as share capital, may occur at most once. In UBL this maps to cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyLegalForm, which must not repeat.
Official rule text
Seller additional legal information shall occur maximum once
Common causes
- Several cac:PartyLegalEntity elements each supply a CompanyLegalForm.
- Legal form and share-capital text are emitted as two separate CompanyLegalForm elements instead of one combined string.
- Template duplicates the legal information block.
How do I fix it?
Combine into one element: <cac:PartyLegalEntity><cbc:RegistrationName>ACME Trading Ltd</cbc:RegistrationName><cbc:CompanyLegalForm>SARL au capital de 50 000 EUR</cbc:CompanyLegalForm></cac:PartyLegalEntity> and remove duplicates.
