Today I continued testing Ibanity synchronization using real data in integration mode.

My first error message was:

No transmissionId in {
'data': {
  'id': 'd772574a-bddb-4a7b-9b60-4921736daaca',
  'type': 'peppolInvoice',
  'attributes': {
    'createdAt': '2025-04-17T06:43:37.760Z',
    'errors': [{
        'code': 'invalid-schematron',
        'detail': 'Belgian VAT number MUST bestated in the correct format.
        (/Invoice/cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID)\nBelgian VAT
        number MUST be stated in the correct format.
        (/Invoice/cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID)'}],
    'status': 'invalid',
    'technicalStatus': 'invalid'},
  'relationships': {
    'supplier': {'data': {
      'id': '249e6232-5d7d-4654-8547-c8b252309698',
      'type': 'supplier'}}}}}

Okay, this is probably yet another trace of having validated against the wrong rule set. Seems that in Belgium they require the two first letters of the VAT number to be specified in <cbc:EndpointID>`. Why not.

Next error message was:

• “Supplier data in document can’t be matched with data of supplier.

  Value found in //cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyName/cbc:Name can’t be matched with internal supplier data: FIRMA SOUNDSO AG”

Indeed, I had registered them using the name “Soundso A.G.”, not “FIRMA SOUNDSO AG”. After changing the site owner’s name to “SOUNDSO A.G.” it worked.

Here is the next error message:

No transmissionId in {'data': {'id': '94aa14c3-a5c6-49a3-9ec6-a13d66822087',
'type': 'peppolInvoice', 'attributes': {'createdAt':
'2025-04-17T07:09:44.016Z', 'errors': [{'code':
'error-customer-not-registered', 'detail': "Identifier
'iso6523-actorid-upis::9925:be 1234567890' is not registered in SML."}],
'status': 'send-error', 'technicalStatus': 'send-error'}, 'relationships':
{'supplier': {'data': {'id': '249e6232-5d7d-4654-8547-c8b252309698', 'type':
'supplier'}}}}}

This makes sense because the recipient of that invoice obviously didn’t yet register to the Peppol network. The SML means Service Metadata Locator and because we said SchemeID “9925” (which means “Belgian VAT number”), they probably queried the Belgian VAT office to ask whether the organization with VAT id 1234567890 has already onboarded to the Peppol network.

TODO:

• The end user should not need to read the log messages of the CheckPeppol action. Such error messages should be stored in the OutboundDocument instance.

• When the VAT Regime is subject or cocontractor, then the end user doesn’t need to check PeppolPartner.send_peppol because that’s mandatory.
