PEPPOL-EN16931-R110
Peppol BIS 3.0
FATAL
This is a Peppol BIS 3.0 rule - a requirement added on top of EN 16931 for invoices exchanged over the Peppol network. Your invoice may be valid EN 16931 and still fail this check.
How to fix it
- Read the requirement in the rule text below - Peppol rules are usually precise about the expected element or format.
- Check the electronic address identifiers (endpoint IDs) and their scheme codes - they are the most frequent Peppol failures.
- If you do not send through Peppol, validate against plain EN 16931 instead.
Official rule text
Start date of line period MUST be within invoice period.
