PEPPOL-EN16931-R002

Peppol BIS 3.0 FATAL

Official rule text

No more than one note is allowed on document level, unless both the buyer and seller are German organizations.

What this error means

Peppol allows at most one invoice note (BT-22). Your file carries several cbc:Note elements at document level.

How to fix it

  1. Merge your notes into a single cbc:Note element.
  2. Line-level notes (BT-127) are separate and still allowed one per line.
