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

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

-
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.
