Factur-X invoices must have valid profile in CustomizationID.
Engine Classification
Financial or legal field · Modification blocked by policy
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 non-compliant and will be rejected by Peppol access points and national validation services. The sending system receives a rejection response and the invoice does not reach the buyer.
Target path: XPath: /Invoice/cbc:CustomizationID or /rsm:CrossIndustryInvoice/rsm:ExchangedDocumentContext
Why This Error Matters
Profile determines required fields and validation rules.
FR-R-006 is a hard failure. Invoices that trigger this rule are rejected at the access point and never reach the recipient. In Peppol networks, this means your sending system receives an MLR (Message Level Response) with a rejection status. The invoice must be corrected and re-sent, adding delay to your payment cycle.
