What is DK-R-005?

DK-R-005 is a fatal validation rule defined in the OIOUBL (Denmark) specification (DNK national rules). It validates the PaymentMeansCode element under PaymentMeans in the UBL invoice XML.

When this rule fires, the invoice is rejected by Peppol access points and never reaches the buyer.

Why This Error Matters

Invoice will be rejected by Danish validation. Payment means must use Danish-approved codes.

DK-R-005 is a hard failure — the invoice must be corrected and re-sent before it can reach the recipient.

Danish Peppol access points reject invoices with disallowed payment codes. Your invoice cannot be delivered until the payment method is changed to one of the approved codes.
