France (Flux 2 UBL EXT-CTC-FR): Preceding Invoice Reference

You can reference the Document Type Code and other information about a referenced preceding invoice.

CIUS-FR extends the usage of the Preceding Invoice Reference group, by adding the possibility to provide the Document Type Code element DocumentTypeCode.

This element is used to provide the Invoice Type Code (UNCL 1001) InvoiceTypeCode of the referenced preceding invoice.

Elements

Use the BillingReference element to model this information:

Preceding Invoice Reference (`/Invoice/BillingReference`)	0..n	A group of elements providing information regarding preceding invoices.
Invoice Document Reference (`/InvoiceDocumentReference`)	1..1	A group of elements providing information regarding invoice references.
