PEPPOL-COMMON-R053 The Buyer identifier (BT-46) is "12345678" under scheme "0198", which identifies the Danish ERSTORG number (SE number)
The Buyer identifier (BT-46) is "12345678" under scheme "0198", which identifies the Danish ERSTORG number (SE number). A value in that scheme must be "DK" followed by eight digits, and this one is not. The SE number is the CVR number in its VAT-registration guise, and in this scheme it is always written with the "DK" prefix — unlike scheme 0184, which accepts the bare form as well. 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.

xpath locates the element in the generated UBL document,
which is where a KoSIT or Peppol validator will report the same problem.
A passing value
"identifier": { "schemeId": "0198", "value": "DK12345678" }The fix
Correct buyer.identifier, 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.
