FAQ
How is this different from KoSIT or Peppol validation?
This tool checks the mandatory fields and amount relationships that most frequently cause rejections. It does not replace a full KoSIT XSD/Schematron validation or a Peppol validation.
Why is my PDF rejected because no XML was found?
Scanned or graphic-only PDFs contain no structured data. A PDF/A-3 hybrid document with an embedded xrechnung.xml or factur-x.xml is required.
What does the BT-10 / BuyerReference message mean?
The BuyerReference (or Leitweg-ID) must be provided by the buyer. Without it, invoices usually cannot be matched automatically.
Is my data stored?
No. The file is processed only for the running check and is not persisted.
