Seller contact point given twice (CII) (CII-SR-465)
- Standard: EN 16931
- Severity: error
- Affected fields: BT-41
Meaning
In CII the seller contact point (BT-41) may occur only once: as a person or as a department, not both. EN 16931 only warns. The XRechnung rules turn it into an error.
Possible causes
- The software writes the contact person and the department into the same contact.
How to fix it
- In your invoicing software, enter either a contact person or a department for invoices.
- In the XML: set only ram:PersonName or only ram:DepartmentName in ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:DefinedTradeContact (BT-41).
