Outgoing document validation now always enforced

Removed the option to disable outgoing document validation. All outgoing documents must now pass Peppol validation before being sent.

Peppol document validation is now always enforced for all outgoing documents. The option to disable validation at the company level has been removed as communicated previously.

What changed

  • Validation always enforced: All outgoing documents, including invoices and credit notes, must pass EN16931 / Peppol BIS 3.0 validation before being sent.
  • Removed company setting: The isOutgoingDocumentValidationEnforced parameter has been removed from company creation and update endpoints. Validation enforcement can no longer be disabled.
  • Clear error messages: Documents that fail validation will not be sent, and you'll receive detailed error messages indicating what must be corrected.

Why this matters

Enforcing validation before sending helps:

  • Reduce failed deliveries: Catch compliance issues before documents enter the Peppol network
  • Avoid downstream rejections: Ensure documents meet recipient and access point requirements
  • Improve data quality: Better automation and processing for recipients

What you need to do

  • If you generate XML yourself: Ensure your UBL documents comply with EN16931 / Peppol BIS 3.0 standards.
  • Review existing documents: Check the dashboard for any documents marked with "Document Validation Issues" and address the listed errors.

This change improves interoperability across the Peppol network and helps ensure reliable document delivery.
