PINT Self-Billing compliance

This section provides an overview of rules that receivers and/or senders of documents must fulfil to be compliant to PINT. This is not a complete or normative listing of applicable rules.

A message is considered compliant to this PINT if no fatal errors are detected when validating with the current validation artefacts.

A message is also considered compliant to this PINT if only warnings (and no fatal errors) are detected when validating with the current validation artefacts.

Sending compliance to PINT based BIS

Processing of rules

A sender SHALL NOT send messages that are not compliant to the BIS.

Receiving compliance to PINT based BIS

Processing of rules

A receiver SHALL NOT reject receiving messages which are compliant to the BIS.
A receiver MAY reject receiving messages which are not compliant to the BIS.

Enveloping compliance

Enveloping of BIS message in Peppol Business Message Envelope (SBDH)

When a BIS message is enveloped, the value of the SBDH element Sender/Identifier SHALL match the Party/EndpointID element value of the sender party, including the value of its schemeID attribute.
When a BIS message is enveloped, the value of the SBDH element Receiver/Identifier SHALL match the Party/EndpointID element value of the receiver party, including the value of its schemeID attribute.

Example:

BIS message:
    <cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0088">7315458756324</cbc:EndpointID>

SBDH envelope:
    <Identifier Authority="iso6523-actorid-upis">0088:7315458756324</Identifier>

See Policy for use of Identifiers for more information on how to represent identifiers in envelope and messages.
