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

The Seller electronic address (BT-34) must have a Scheme identifier. The message starts with "The", not "Each", and says "shall have a Scheme identifier". It ends with a period. The context is the seller party endpoint id. The published test checks that the schemeID attribute exists. It does not check the scheme value.

What to change

When a seller electronic address (BT-34) is sent, give that endpoint id a scheme identifier.

Illustration
