or
(string-length(string()) = 8) and (string-length(translate(substring(string(), 1, 8),'1234567890', '')) = 0)PEPPOL-COMMON-R042 is a fatal rule in the format layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected.
What this rule requires
The rule requires that any cbc:EndpointID[@schemeID = '0184'], cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID[@schemeID = '0184'], or cbc:CompanyID[@schemeID = '0184'] contains a Danish organization number (CVR) in the correct format. The value must be either exactly 8 digits, or exactly DK followed by 8 digits (10 characters in total). A document fails when the element contains anything else, for example extra characters, separators, lowercase dk, or the wrong length.
How to fix
Set the relevant element to either an 8-digit number without the DK prefix (e.g., 12345678) or DK plus 8 digits (e.g., DK12345678). Remove any spaces, punctuation, or other characters. Ensure the @schemeID remains 0184 on the element. Apply this to every element listed.
