What it means
The electronic invoice must not contain empty elements. Optional information with no value should be omitted rather than sent as an empty field.
Typical causes
- The template exports unused optional fields.
- A required value was left blank.
How to fix it
- Find the empty field identified by the validation report.
- Fill it in if required; otherwise have your provider omit the empty element.
- Export and validate the invoice again.
