CII-SR-466

Validation message

Only one BT-56 element is allowed on an invoice.

Explanation

Under the EN 16931 standard, the buyer's contact point is a single field. The invoice, however, gives both a person and a department for it. Only one of the two is allowed.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that names either a person or a department as the buyer's contact point. To show both, they can be combined into one value, such as 'Purchasing – Max Muster'. Whom the seller should name here is usually up to the buyer.
