Message to the sender

Hello,

rule UBL-DT-19 was triggered when checking electronic invoice {invoiceNumber}. The UBL export contains an extra languageID attribute under “anywhere in the document”. Could you check the export and send us a corrected file?

Kind regards

Example

The check flags languageID under “anywhere in the document”. In the corrected file the field keeps its value and the attribute is omitted.
