What does SE-R-002 mean? For Swedish suppliers, the Swedish VAT-numbers must have the trailing 12 characters in numeric form

Why did my invoice fail SE-R-002?

For a Swedish supplier, the 12 characters following the SE prefix of the Swedish VAT number must all be numeric. Non-numeric characters make the identifier unusable for automated matching against the Swedish VAT register.
