Rule reference

PEPPOL-EN16931-CL008: The electronic address scheme must come from the EAS code list

What it means

The official rule text from OpenPEPPOL:

Electronic address identifier scheme must be from the codelist "Electronic Address Identifier Scheme"

How to fix it

Peppol only accepts Peppol participant identifiers as electronic addresses, not email (scheme EM). Use for example scheme 9930 with the German VAT number, 0088 with a GLN, or 0204 with a Leitweg-ID.
