Example message from our sample invoice:

The seller is in Slovakia. According to the official FAQ of the Slovak Financial Administration, the Peppol identifier there is the tax number DIC with schemeID="0245". This is our recommendation, not a schematron rule.

What the rule says

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

Why the validator reports it

How we rate it: warning

Where we point in the file: /Invoice/cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID

How to fix it

Open the XML file and find the element cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID.
Correct the value the way the message above describes.
Save the file and check it again. The checker runs in your browser, the file is never uploaded.

A correct UBL 2.1 snippet

<cac:Party
    xmlns:cac="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-2"
    xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2">
  <cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0245">2120000001</cbc:EndpointID>
</cac:Party>

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

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. The source of each quoted wording is given next to the quotation.
