When an invoice references items that were delivered with separate dispatches, the references should be provided on the line level using the DespatchDocumentReference element.

When the invoiced quantity of an item is delivered in more than one dispatch, the invoice must have separate lines for each dispatch. When dispatches are referenced on line level, you cannot have a document-level reference.

Use the DespatchDocumentReference element to model this information.
