Italian VAT identifier format warning
So lautet die Ablehnung wörtlich: „[PEPPOL-EN16931-R047] PEPPOL-EN16931-R047 fires when a party VAT identifier is issued by Italy but does not match the Italian Partita IVA format. The rule is a warning — the invoice can still be delivered — but many Italian buyers, the SDI exchange system, and downstream reconciliation processes will reject invoices where the VAT ID does not conform.“
The Peppol schematron checks parties whose VAT identifier scheme resolves to Italy (IT prefix on the CompanyID) and requires the identifier body to be exactly 11 numeric digits after the country prefix. The valid format is IT followed by 11 digits (e.g. IT12345678903). The rule catches common mistakes: extra spaces, hyphens, alphabetic characters, or fewer/more than 11 digits after the prefix.
