Reference

BR-CL-25 Endpoint identifier scheme must come from CEF EAS

The scheme identifier of the electronic address (BT-34-1 for the seller, BT-49-1 for the buyer) must belong to the CEF EAS code list.

EAS codes describe the kind of electronic address, which receiving networks such as Peppol use to find the recipient. The rule checks cbc:EndpointID/@schemeID in UBL and ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID/@schemeID in CII. It fails when a name such as "EMAIL", "GLN" or "LEITWEG" is written instead of the code. Take the scheme from the recipient’s registration, not from the kind of number you expect. Example: a German public buyer with a Leitweg-ID is addressed with schemeID="0204".

Solution

Set the schemeID of the electronic address to the EAS code that matches the kind of identifier in the value, e.g. 0088 (GLN), 0204 (German Leitweg-ID), 9930 (German VAT number) or EM (email address).
