Why This Error Matters

SDI uses the Codice Destinatario to route invoices to the correct recipient. Without it, invoices go to the recipient's tax drawer.

How to Fix It

1

Get recipient code

Ask your customer for their 7-character SDI code

2

Alternative PEC

If no code, use their certified PEC email address

3

Add to invoice

Use EndpointID with schemeID 0201 for SDI code

Code Example

<cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0201">M5UXCR1</cbc:EndpointID>

Technical Details

XPath: /Invoice/cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID[@schemeID="0201"]
