E-invoice rule our own check at ARLing, not from a schematron
XML-02: The root element of the file is Nieco
The root element of the file is Nieco. A UBL 2.1 e-invoice needs Invoice or CreditNote as its root element, in the namespace urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2.
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
- Open the XML file of the e-invoice in a text editor.
- Add or correct the element the way the wording of the rule above asks for.
- Save the file and check it again with our checker. It runs in your browser, the file is never uploaded.

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.
