Why did my invoice fail PEPPOL-EN16931-P0112?

Invoice type codes 326 (partial invoice) and 384 (corrected invoice) are only permitted when both the seller and the buyer are German organisations. These codes support German-specific invoicing practice and may not be used in cross-border or non-German exchanges.

Official rule text

Invoice type code 326 or 384 are only allowed when both buyer and seller are German organizations

Common causes

Using type code 384 for a correction where one party is not German (use a credit note or 380 instead)
Seller or buyer country code not DE while type code is 326/384
ERP defaulting to a German document type for all customers
