CII-SR-453
Warning EN 16931 (CII)
Official rule text
[CII-SR-453] - Only one SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms Description should be present
What it means
In the EN 16931 CII binding, payment terms map to a single ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:Description (BT-20) under ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement. CII syntax allows repetition, the semantic model does not - the artefacts flag any second Description as a warning (CII-SR-452 similarly limits SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms itself to one occurrence). Common with Factur-X/ZUGFeRD generators that emit one block per payment condition.
How to fix it
Merge all payment terms text into one ram:Description (BT-20) inside a single ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms block under ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement.
Business terms involved: BT-20
🇫🇷 En français
Dans le binding CII de l'EN 16931, les conditions de paiement se mappent sur un unique ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms/ram:Description (BT-20) sous ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement. La syntaxe CII autorise la répétition, pas le modèle sémantique - les artefacts signalent toute seconde Description en warning (CII-SR-452 limite de même SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms à une occurrence). Fréquent avec les générateurs Factur-X/ZUGFeRD qui émettent un bloc par condition de paiement.
Correction : Fusionnez tout le texte des conditions de paiement dans un seul ram:Description (BT-20) au sein d'un unique bloc ram:SpecifiedTradePaymentTerms sous ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeSettlement.
