PEPPOL-COMMON-R041 A Norwegian organisation number must be nine digits with a valid check digit
noun · Peppol BIS · fatal · BT-34
For a sample invoice, the library reports: The Seller electronic address (BT-34) is "991825828" under scheme "0192", which identifies the Norwegian organisation number (Enhetsregisteret). A value in that scheme must be exactly nine digits, the last of which is a modulus-11 check digit, and this one is not.

BT-34- Severity
fatal
The fix
Correct seller.electronicAddress, or change its scheme identifier if the value belongs to a different register. A check digit failing almost always means one digit was transposed or dropped in transcription — compare it against the source register rather than re-typing it.

The full error returned by @attestwire/en16931. It includes the rule ID,

"message": "The Seller electronic address (BT-34) is \"991825828\" under scheme \"0192\", which identifies the Norwegian organisation number (Enhetsregisteret). A value in that scheme must be exactly nine digits, the last of which is a modulus-11 check digit, and this one is not. Norway's organisasjonsnummer carries its own check digit, and Norway is one of the jurisdictions where Peppol is the mandatory channel for public-sector invoicing — so a transposed digit here is not a warning about data quality, it is an invoice that cannot be delivered. Peppol flags this fatal: the identifier is what an access point resolves to find your counterparty, so a value that fails its own check digit is undeliverable. This is a Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 profile rule: it applies because profile is \"peppol-bis-3\". It does not apply to the en16931, xrechnung-ubl or xrechnung-cii profiles, whose validators will accept the same document.",

xpath is always a UBL path. On a CII invoice, look for the
matching CII field instead.
