DK-R-002

What does this rule mean?

A Danish seller does not state a legal entity.

Denmark requires domestic sellers to identify their legal entity (CVR); without it the invoice is not accepted.

Where the rule applies

Syntax: CII · UBL

The same rule, expressed twice: UBL and CII name the same fields with different paths. Running a CII file against the UBL rules is why you get errors that mean nothing.

Technical test

The rule passes when this Schematron expression holds true:

(normalize-space(rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement/ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganization/ram:ID/text()) != '')

How to fix it

A missing or incorrect business entry only you can supply. Add or correct it, then re-check.

Add the seller legal entity (CVR number, schemeID 0184).

Correct the affected entry in your XML, then re-check the invoice. Validation runs locally in your browser — your file never leaves your machine.
