Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, May 2026 release, EN 16931 model bound to UBL

Severity note: fatal, from the Flag column of the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL rules index retrieved 2026-10-18.

Plain-language reading

Each Additional supporting document (BG-24) must contain a Supporting document reference (BT-122). The message says "shall contain", not "shall contain the", and it starts with "Each". It ends with a period. The context is an additional document reference. The published test checks that cbc:ID is not blank. The comparison is != '' with a space.

What to change

Put a non-blank supporting document reference (BT-122) on each additional supporting document.

Illustration
