When testing our XML file (MISC, Charge Category: Service Provider, Charge Code: GDS), we received the following error on the InvoiceHeader - Notes field.
============================================================================================
List of possible elements expected: 'RejectionFlag, RejectedInvoiceDetails, CorrespondenceFlag, CorrespondenceDetails'
============================================================================================
There is no link between any of the four possible expected elements ('RejectionFlag, RejectedInvoiceDetails, CorrespondenceFlag, CorrespondenceDetails') and Notes as per the below XML spec for Notes
Element Name | Values | Description | Notes | Recommendation | Validation |
Notes @Type | Attribute Type is partly dictionary defined and possible values are:
Affiliate / Tax / PaymentTerms / Claims / RemitTo /TransactionType
| Free form text | Note a reference to a previous invoice number or BOL if the current invoice is a credit memo;.
Type attribute is optional and open ended (AN25). Example of possible values: Affiliate / Tax / PaymentTerms / Claims / RemitTo | It is recommended that any information that is important and needs to be shown on the PDF/ legal invoice, it should be stated in this field and not in the field InvoiceData @Name | Attribute Type is Optional and AN25 |
Original Invoices will not have either the Rejection Flag or Correspondence Flag set to ‘Y’. Recommendation above states that any important information needs to be shown on PDF/legal invoices should go into the Notes field.
Can you please advise how we can avoid the above error for Original Invoices?
