PEPPOL-EN16931-R004

Validation message

Specification identifier MUST begin with the value 'urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant#urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:3.0' and follow the format rules for the identifier.

Explanation

A PEPPOL invoice must state which specification it follows. The identifier must begin with urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant#urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:3.0 and must not contain empty segments ('::'); otherwise the invoice is not recognised as a PEPPOL invoice.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with the correct PEPPOL specification identifier. This usually comes from the seller's invoicing software, not from data entry.
