SAF-T › DUKIntegrator D406 errors

Wrong element order or misplaced section

What it means

The D406 schema fixes the order of elements. An element placed before one that should precede it produces order or "missing element" messages.

Common causes

• The software writes fields in a different order than the schema (e.g. AccountDescription before AccountID).

How to fix it

1. Reorder following the schema; order matters even when all elements are present.
2. Note: DUKIntegrator often does not say "wrong order" but "element X needs to appear at least 1 times" – for an element that exists but comes later. If the "missing" element is in the file, the problem is the order (example below).

How it usually shows up in DUKIntegrator:

F: MasterFiles (1) sectiune GeneralLedgerAccounts (1) sectiune Account (1) sectiune AccountDescription (1)
 eroare structura: elementul 'AccountID' ar fi trebuit sa apara de minimum 1 ori, dar apare efectiv de 0 ori

<Account><AccountDescription>Clienti</AccountDescription><AccountID>4111</AccountID>…

<Account><AccountID>4111</AccountID><AccountDescription>Clienti</AccountDescription>…
