Fatal — invoice rejected Party & address Shared Peppol rule PINT-AE 2026.5

How to fix ibr-070 in UAE e-invoicing

What is ibr-070?

ibr-070 is a fatal validation rule in the UAE's Peppol PINT-AE e-invoicing specification, inherited from the shared Peppol layer. It is checked against the invoice document and belongs to the Party & address rule group. An e-invoice that fails ibr-070 is rejected by the Accredited Service Provider gateway before it reaches the FTA.

What the official rule says

Danish organization number (CVR) MUST be stated in the correct format for endpoints (ibt-034), (ibt-049), party identification (ibt-029), (ibt-046), (ibt-060), legal entities (ibt-030), (ibt-047), (ibt-061).
UAE impact: this is a fatal rule from the shared Peppol layer, enforced in the UAE profile — an invoice failing it is rejected at the Accredited Service Provider gateway before it ever reaches the FTA. A rejected invoice means resubmission delays, and late transmission risks the AED 100-per-invoice penalty under Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025.

Where it applies

This rule is checked against the invoice document of your UBL 2.1 invoice: 

cbc:EndpointID[@schemeID = '0184'] | cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID[@schemeID = '0184'] | cbc:CompanyID[@schemeID = '0184']
