Validation message

Element Document reference can only be used for Invoice line object

Explanation

A line may refer only to the identifier of the invoiced object, such as a meter or contract number. Other document references are not allowed on a line; they belong to the invoice as a whole.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice in which lines refer only to the object identifier and other documents are given at invoice level. This usually comes from the seller's invoicing software, not from data entry.
