Validation message

The document type code MUST be coded by the invoice and credit note related code lists of UNTDID 1001.

Explanation

The kind of document is stated with a code from the UNTDID 1001 list, and EN 16931 allows only its invoice and credit note codes, such as 380 (commercial invoice), 381 (credit note), 384 (corrected invoice), 389 (self-billed invoice) or 326 (partial invoice). The stated code isn't allowed: either it isn't in this selection, or it doesn't match the form of the document. Depending on the invoice format, a document structured as a credit note needs a credit note code such as 381, and one structured as an invoice needs an invoice code such as 380.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with an allowed code: 380 for an ordinary invoice, 381 for a credit note.
