You use the AccountingCustomerParty element to model the Buyer's information. This element contains the Party element that you can use to specify information such as:

  • Name and address of the Buyer.

Buyer References

You may want to make a reference to a Buyer. You can use the Invoice/BuyerReference element to do so. For example:

<ubl:Invoice>
    <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
    <cbc:BuyerReference>99000000-18188-18</cbc:BuyerReference>
    <!-- Code omitted for clarity -->
