What does NL-R-005 mean? For suppliers in the Netherlands, if the customer is in the Netherlands, the customer's legal entity identifier MUST be either a KVK or OIN number (schemeID 0106 or 0190)

Why did my invoice fail NL-R-005?

For Dutch suppliers invoicing a customer in the Netherlands, the customer's legal entity identifier must be either a KVK number (schemeID 0106) or an OIN number (schemeID 0190). This mirrors NL-R-003 on the buyer side; in UBL it is the customer's cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyID.

Official rule text

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

Common causes

• Customer legal entity identifier missing or without schemeID
• VAT number used as the buyer's legal entity identifier
• schemeID other than 0106/0190 for a Dutch buyer
