What is PEPPOL-COMMON-R049?
PEPPOL-COMMON-R049 is a fatal validation rule defined in the Peppol BIS 3.0 specification. It validates the EndpointID element in the UBL invoice XML.
When this rule fires, the invoice is rejected by Peppol access points and never reaches the buyer.
Target path: //cbc:EndpointID[@schemeID='0007']
Why This Error Matters
Invoice will be rejected by PEPPOL validation. Swedish recipients require valid organization numbers for identification.
PEPPOL-COMMON-R049 is a hard failure — the invoice must be corrected and re-sent before it can reach the recipient.
Invoices with invalid Swedish organization numbers are rejected by Peppol Access Points. The receiver cannot identify your company, so the invoice cannot be delivered or processed. This blocks payment.
Invoice Navigator can automatically correct this error in your pipeline. The fix is applied with full audit evidence, so your compliance trail remains intact.

How to Fix It
Find the organization number
Look at your company registration certificate (registreringsbevis) from Bolagsverket. The org number is 10 digits, usually written as XXXXXX-XXXX.
Remove formatting
Strip any hyphens, spaces, or other non-numeric characters. The result should be exactly 10 digits.
Verify the check digit
The 10th digit is a Luhn check digit. If your ERP exported it with a typo or truncation, correct it to match your official registration.
