What is NO-R-001?

NO-R-001 is a fatal validation rule defined in the EHF (Norway) specification (NOR national rules). It validates the EndpointID element under Party in the UBL invoice XML.

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

Target path: //cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID

Why This Error Matters

Invoice will be rejected by Norwegian validation. VAT number must follow NO + 9 digits + MVA format.

NO-R-001 is a hard failure — the invoice must be corrected and re-sent before it can reach the recipient.

Invoice Navigator can automatically correct this error in your pipeline. The fix is applied with full audit evidence, so your compliance trail remains intact.
