PEPPOL-EN16931-R001: business process missing

A Peppol BIS invoice must name the business process it belongs to (BT-23, the ProfileID), so the receiving system knows which Peppol process the document is for. The validator then also reports PEPPOL-EN16931-R007.

What the validator reports

PEPPOL-EN16931-R001: Business process MUST be provided.

This is the message our validator returns for an invoice with this problem. The text is the official rule text.

How to fix it

Add the standard billing process identifier shown below. Valinvo sets it for you when it generates Peppol invoices.

In the XML (UBL)

<cbc:ProfileID>urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:01:1.0</cbc:ProfileID>
