  • Applies to · UBL / CII

The address of an external supporting document (BT-124) needs a scheme such as https. A relative address often fails outside the system that created it. KoSIT checks the form of the address, not whether the document is reachable.

Who can correct it?

The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Export the complete address including its scheme. When sharing the document, verify that the recipient can access it.
  2. XML fields in the affected group · UBL cac:AdditionalDocumentReference/cac:Attachment/cac:ExternalReference/cbc:URI · CII ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement/ram:AdditionalReferencedDocument[ram:TypeCode="916"]/ram:URIID

Rule text and source

Paraphrase · An external document address must be absolute and start with a scheme. In CII this applies to optional URIID fields on supporting document references of type 916.
