UBL not valid
-
I’m using Moneybird to process my invoices. This used to work great, all WooCommerce order data got transferred into my Moneybird invoices. Although, since a while that doesn’t work anymore. Moneybird says that the “UBL file is not valid”. Any suggestions? I didn’t change any settings for years. Maybe this is on Moneybird’s end. Latest version of Woo and the plugin.

We’re sorry to hear about the issue. Could you please validate the XML in UBL 2.1 format here and share any errors you encounter in your response?
XML Syntax – invoice-5001.xml
- All fine on this level
XML Schema – external/schemas/ubl21/maindoc/UBL-CreditNote-2.1.xsd
Error
- Location: invoice-5001.xml
- Error message: [SAX] cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element ‘Invoice’.
- Technical details: cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element ‘Invoice’.
Did you select UBL 2.1 Credit Note instead of Invoice in the validator?
Sorry, I missed that. This is the output for rule set “UBL Invoice 2.1”:

Could you share the contents of the “AccountingSupplierParty” element while omitting any sensitive information?

</Invoice>It could be connected to this issue. I’ll update you once I have something ready for testing.
Please give this version a try and let us know if you encounter any issues.
I’ll wait for a plugin update, I currently don’t have time to try betas and release candidates.
