Validation message

Binary object elements shall contain the mime code attribute

Explanation

If a file is embedded in the invoice (for example a delivery note as PDF), its file type must be stated, such as application/pdf. Otherwise the receiving system can't reliably open the file. The requirement comes from EN 16931.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice in which every embedded attachment states its file type. This is usually down to the seller's invoicing software.
