What is SE-R-005?

SE-R-005 is a fatal validation rule defined in the Peppol BIS 3.0 specification. It validates the CompanyID element under PartyTaxScheme[cac:TaxScheme > ID!='VAT'] in the UBL invoice XML.

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