Peppol BIS 3.0 FATAL

Official rule text

Business process MUST be provided.

What this error means

Peppol requires a business process identifier (BT-23, cbc:ProfileID) so the receiving access point knows which process the document belongs to.

How to fix it

  1. Add cbc:ProfileIDurn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:01:1.0 right after the CustomizationID.
  2. Keep the exact string - a missing segment fails the check.
