PEPPOL-COMMON-R040

GLN must have a valid format according to GS1 rules.

error: the document is invalid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • A GLN (scheme 0088) has a wrong check digit, or contains spaces or letters.
  • Another identifier, such as a VAT number, was sent with scheme 0088.

How to fix it

Check the GLN with GS1's check digit calculator, or use the scheme that matches the identifier you have.

What the rule checks

As the rule set's publisher wrote it. The rule runs on every element the context matches, and fails where the test is false; the validator reports the line of that element.
