BR-52
Additional Supporting Document Reference Missing URL or Description
What This Error Means
When an Additional Supporting Document (BG-24) is referenced, it must have either an External Document URI (BT-124) or an Attached Document description (BT-123). An empty reference block with no identifiable content triggers this error and can cause the receiver's system to fail processing the attachment.
How to Fix It
For each cac:AdditionalDocumentReference, add either cbc:URI (pointing to the external document) or cac:Attachment/cbc:Description. For embedded attachments, also include cac:Attachment/cbc:EmbeddedDocumentBinaryObject.
