Changes

Data Model

  • In the Credit Note Semantic and Syntax documentation, IBT-003 was previously described as Invoice type code. This has been corrected to Credit note type code.

Documentation

  • PINT Specialisation Guide:

    • Updated the Shared Content section to clarify restrictive cardinality on optional elements when required by local implementations.

    • Improved the definition of Shared Content in the Glossary and terminology section.

    • Added clarification under Data Model → Specialisations → Allowed cardinality restrictions.

    • Removed references to GitHub issue links.

Code Lists

  • No changes.

Schematron Rules

Rule ID Syntax (XML location) Change Business Rule Reason

IBR-127

cbc:EndpointID[@schemeID = '0007'], cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID[@schemeID = '0007'], cbc:CompanyID[@schemeID = '0007']

Added (Rules tab)

[ibr-127] – Swedish organization number MUST be stated in the correct format for endpoints (ibt-034), (ibt-049), party identification (ibt-029), (ibt-046), (ibt-060), and legal entities (ibt-030), (ibt-047), (ibt-061).

The rule was previously not displayed under the Rules tab.

IBR-SR-45

cbc:PaymentDueDate

Removed

[ibr-sr-45] – Due Date (ibt-009) MUST occur at most once.

The UBL 2.1 schema already restricts Due Date to zero or one occurrence, making this Schematron rule redundant.

IBR-082

cbc:ChargeIndicator

Added (Rules tab)

[ibr-082] – Allowance/charge indicator value MUST be either 'true' or 'false'.

The rule was previously not visible under the Rules tab and is now correctly linked to Allowance/Charge Amount at both document and line level.

IBR-127:

Previous Behavior: The rule validating Swedish organization numbers existed but was not visible under the Rules tab and was not clearly linked to all applicable elements.

New Behavior: The rule is now correctly displayed under the Rules tab and linked to endpoints, party identification, and legal entity identifiers using schemeID 0007.

Justification: This change improves rule visibility and ensures consistent validation across all applicable business terms without altering the validation logic itself.

IBR-SR-45:

Previous Behavior: Schematron validation enforced that cbc:PaymentDueDate (ibt-009) MUST occur at most once in the document.

New Behavior: The Schematron rule enforcing the maximum occurrence of cbc:PaymentDueDate has been removed.

Justification: The UBL 2.1 schema already restricts cbc:PaymentDueDate to zero or one occurrence. Maintaining this rule in Schematron duplicated schema-level validation and added no additional implementation value.

IBR-082:

Previous Behavior: The allowance/charge indicator rule existed but was not visible under the Rules tab and was not consistently linked at document and line level.

New Behavior: The rule validating cbc:ChargeIndicator is now correctly displayed under the Rules tab and linked to Allowance/Charge Amount at both document and line level.

Justification: This ensures consistent validation of boolean values and improves transparency for implementers without changing the underlying business requirement.

Action Items for Implementers

  • Review the updated visibility and linkage of Schematron rules in your validation environment.

  • No new Schematron constraints have been introduced; removed rules rely on existing UBL schema validation.

  • Verify Credit Note implementations reference IBT-003 as Credit note type code.

  • No implementation changes are required for Code Lists.
