E-invoice rule our own check at ARLing, not from a schematron

ARL-PROFIL: We ran the EN 16931 core rules only

We ran the EN 16931 core rules only, without the Peppol and XRechnung rules.

Original wording of the rule

This is our own check, not a rule from a schematron. That is why no external wording is quoted here.

How to fix it

1. Open the XML file and find the element cbc:CustomizationID.
2. Add or correct the element the way the wording of the rule above asks for.
3. Save the file and check it again with our checker. It runs in your browser, the file is never uploaded.

A correct UBL 2.1 snippet

<cbc:CustomizationID
    xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2">urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant#urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:3.0</cbc:CustomizationID>

The snippet is only the part of the document the rule is about. Put it in the right place inside your invoice; the namespaces are written here only so that the snippet reads on its own.

When it is reported

Profile: EN 16931, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, XRechnung 3.x

How we rate it: warning

Where we point in the file: /Invoice/cbc:CustomizationID

Related rules

• ARL-LEITWEG The buyer reference "…" looks like a German Leitweg-ID but does
• ARL-MENA The element cbc:Amount carries the currency USD while the invoice
• ARL-SK-DIC-TVAR With schemeID="0245" the electronic address has to hold the Slovak tax
• ARL-SK-SCHEMEID The seller is in Slovakia

Our check is not complete: we do not check the XSD schema and we do not implement every rule, and a file that passes says nothing about whether the buyer or the Peppol network will accept it. Licences for the quoted wordings are listed in our sources.
