  • Severity · Warning
  • Applies to · UBL / CII
  • Editorial review pending

The seller contact's telephone number (BT-42) should contain at least three digits. The value entered does not, probably because it holds a placeholder or text instead of a number. The invoice is still valid, but queries by phone are not possible this way.

  1. The invoice is valid; you can process it.
