What does NL-R-003 mean? For suppliers in the Netherlands, the legal entity identifier MUST be either a KVK or OIN number (schemeID 0106 or 0190)

Why did my invoice fail NL-R-003?

For suppliers in the Netherlands, the supplier's legal entity identifier must be either a KVK (Chamber of Commerce) number with schemeID 0106 or an OIN (government organization identification) number with schemeID 0190. This Peppol BIS 3.0 Dutch country rule ties Dutch sellers to an official Dutch register; in UBL the identifier is the seller's cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyID.

Official rule text

For suppliers in the Netherlands, the legal entity identifier MUST be either a KVK or OIN number (schemeID 0106 or 0190)

Common causes

• Legal entity CompanyID missing its schemeID attribute
• A VAT number or other identifier used instead of a KVK/OIN number
• Wrong schemeID value (e.g. 9944) on the legal entity identifier

How do I fix it?

<cac:PartyLegalEntity>
  <cbc:RegistrationName>Voorbeeld B.V.</cbc:RegistrationName>
  <cbc:CompanyID schemeID="0106">12345678</cbc:CompanyID>
