Reason: Factur-X requires a valid profile identifier in CustomizationID (MINIMUM, BASIC, BASIC WL, EN16931, EXTENDED). This is embedded in the PDF/A-3 document and must be set correctly when generating the Factur-X invoice.
What is FR-R-006?
FR-R-006 is a fatal validation rule defined in the factur-x specification (FRA national rules). It validates the rsm:ExchangedDocumentContext element under CustomizationID or > rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice in the UBL invoice XML.
When this rule fires, the invoice is rejected by Peppol access points and never reaches the buyer.
