UBL-SR-37 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?
Der KoSIT-Validator lehnt die Rechnung ab, weil ein Preisnachlass (BT-147) mehrfach vorkommt — nur ein cac:Price/cac:AllowanceCharge mit einem cbc:Amount je Position ist erlaubt.
So beheben Sie den Fehler
Behalten Sie genau einen Preis-Nachlass je Position — oder modellieren Sie Rabatte als Positionsnachlässe (BG-27).
