Validation rules

UBL-SR-15

The buyer name (BT-44) appears more than once — the customer party may carry only one PartyLegalEntity/RegistrationName.

Rule: UBL-SR-15 — official EN 16931 / XRechnung rule
Severity: error
Business term: BT-44 — Buyer name
Field in your JSON: invoice.buyer.name
Detected by: tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability: Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

The serializer writes invoice.buyer.name as exactly one RegistrationName.

How to fix it

Keep a single cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName under cac:AccountingCustomerParty.

UBL-SR-15 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Der KoSIT-Validator lehnt die Rechnung ab, weil der Käufername (BT-44) mehrfach vorkommt — die Käuferpartei darf nur einen PartyLegalEntity/RegistrationName tragen.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Behalten Sie genau einen cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName unter cac:AccountingCustomerParty.
