PEPPOL-COMMON-R049 A Swedish organisation number must be ten 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 "2021005488" under scheme "0007", which identifies the Swedish organisation number (Organisationsnummer). A value in that scheme must be exactly ten digits ending in a Luhn check digit, and this one is not.

Business term
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.

A value in that scheme must be exactly ten digits ending in a Luhn check digit, and this one is not. Sweden's organisationsnummer is a ten-digit Luhn-checked value, written without the hyphen that Swedish paperwork usually shows. Strip the hyphen and keep all ten digits — dropping the century prefix is the common way to break it. 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.
