Who can correct it?

The invoicing software provider can correct the export.

How to fix it

  1. Find the entry in the UBL export at cac:OriginatorDocumentReference/cbc:DocumentStatusCode.
  2. Adjust the export to omit cbc:DocumentStatusCode at this location. If you need the information, first check where the selected profile expects it.
