E-invoice rule Peppol BIS Billing 3.0

PEPPOL-EN16931-CL008: Look up the code for your identifier in the CEF

Look up the code for your identifier in the CEF EAS code list; 0088 is the GS1 GLN and works anywhere.

Original wording of the rule

Electronic address identifier scheme must be from the codelist "Electronic Address Identifier Scheme"

Source of the quotation: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (OpenPEPPOL, peppol-bis-invoice-3)

How to fix it

1. Open the XML file and find the element cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID.
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

<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. 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. Licences for the quoted wordings are listed in our sources.
