Who can correct it?

The invoicing software provider can correct the export.

How to fix it

  1. Check cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID[upper-case(@schemeID) != 'SEPA'] within cac:PayeeParty for repeated entries and compare the names with the actual parties.
  2. Use a separate payee block for a different payee. If the export repeats the seller in a payee block by mistake, correct the mapping.

Rule text and source

Paraphrase · Within cac:PayeeParty, cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID[upper-case(@schemeID) != 'SEPA'] may return at most one match. The check also requires the payee name to differ from the seller’s registered name.

Message to the sender

Hello,

rule UBL-SR-20 was triggered when checking electronic invoice {invoiceNumber}. Could you check the payee name and the payee identifier? Could you check the export and send us a corrected file?

Kind regards

Example

A separate payee block repeats the seller’s registered name and gives a payee identifier. For an actual different payee, the corrected block gives their own name and at most one matching entry.
