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 document type code must use the invoice and credit note code lists of UNTDID 1001. The statement says MUST and ends with a period. The context is cbc:InvoiceTypeCode or cbc:CreditNoteTypeCode, with spaces around the bar. The invoice branch checks self::cbc:InvoiceTypeCode. The credit-note branch checks self::cbc:CreditNoteTypeCode. Both branches reject a value that contains a space, then look the value up in that list. Neither branch calls exists.

## What to change

Put an invoice type code from the invoice list of UNTDID 1001 on cbc:InvoiceTypeCode, or a credit note type code from the credit note list on cbc:CreditNoteTypeCode. Do not put a space in the code.

## Illustration

Illustration of the condition in the official statement. Not an example published by the source.

**Fails the stated condition.** The invoice type code contains a space, or it is not in the invoice list of UNTDID 1001.

**Passes the stated condition.** The invoice type code is 380, with no space. A credit note type code of 381, with no space, passes the credit-note branch.
