CII-SR-465

Syntax rules enforced by XRechnung · severity: error · in EN 16931 (CII) · an error in XRechnung (KoSIT configuration), only a warning in plain EN 16931

Official rule text

Only one BT-41 element is allowed on an invoice.

What it means

Only one seller contact (BT-41, DefinedTradeContact) is allowed. Some programs write several contacts; keep one. XRechnung treats this as an error; plain EN 16931 only warns.

How to fix it

Open the invoice in your invoicing software or XML, correct the fields named in the rule, and check the file again. Our free validator shows exactly where in the file the rule failed. If you need a new compliant invoice, you can create one for free.
