Why did my invoice fail PEPPOL-EN16931-R010?
The Buyer electronic address (BT-49) must be present. This is the Peppol endpoint identifier used to deliver the invoice to the buyer, so it is mandatory for routing; it lives in cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID with a scheme in the @schemeID attribute.
Official rule text
Buyer electronic address MUST be provided
Common causes
- cbc:EndpointID is missing from the customer party.
- The schemeID attribute (e.g. 0088 for GLN, 9930 for DE VAT) is absent.
- The buyer's registered Peppol participant identifier was never captured in the source system.
How do I fix it?
<cac:AccountingCustomerParty><cac:Party><cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0088">7300010000001</cbc:EndpointID></cac:Party></cac:AccountingCustomerParty>
