PEPPOL-COMMON-R048 The Buyer electronic address (BT-49) is "IT01234567890" under scheme "9906", which identifies the Italian VAT number (Peppol endpoint scheme 9906)
The Buyer electronic address (BT-49) is "IT01234567890" under scheme "9906", which identifies the Italian VAT number (Peppol endpoint scheme 9906). A value in that scheme must be "IT" followed by eleven digits whose last digit is a check digit, and this one is not. Scheme 9906 is the endpoint-only spelling of the Partita IVA, addressed as a routing identifier rather than quoted as a tax number. Same value, same check. Peppol flags this one as a warning rather than a rejection, so the document will be delivered — but a wrong identifier is delivered to the wrong place, or to nowhere. 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.
This rule is implemented and its error payload below is real, but the long-form write-up — normative text, worked example, divergence note — is not written yet. Everything the library knows about this rule is on this page. Ask and we will prioritise it.

"electronicAddress": { "schemeId": "9906", "value": "IT01234567897" }The fix
Correct buyer.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.
