Why did my invoice fail PEPPOL-COMMON-R046?

An Italian Tax Code (Codice Fiscale) carried in a party tax scheme identifier must be stated in the correct format (11 to 16 alphanumeric characters). This is the same format check as PEPPOL-COMMON-R045 applied at another location in the document where the Codice Fiscale can appear.
