Validation rules

UBL-SR-40

The buyer trading name (BT-45) appears more than once — the customer party may carry only one PartyName/Name.

Rule
UBL-SR-40 — official EN 16931 / XRechnung rule
Severity
error
Detected by
tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability
Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

The normbill invoice model has no separate buyer trading name; generated XML never contains a buyer cac:PartyName.

How to fix it

Keep a single cac:PartyName/cbc:Name under the customer party.

UBL-SR-40 auf Deutsch — was bedeutet der Fehler?

Der KoSIT-Validator lehnt die Rechnung ab, weil der Handelsname des Käufers (BT-45) mehrfach vorkommt — nur ein PartyName/Name ist bei der Käuferpartei erlaubt.

So beheben Sie den Fehler

Behalten Sie genau einen cac:PartyName/cbc:Name bei der Käuferpartei.
