RE: Message rejected (MLR)

What it means

Peppol RE in a Message Level Response means the received document was rejected, usually because it failed validation. A description of the reason must be given.

The usual cause

Check the rejection description and line responses for syntax errors (SV) or fatal rule errors (BV); BW warnings alone must not cause rejection.

How to fix it

Fix every error the response describes, check the file again and send the corrected invoice.

Once the file is corrected, check it again for free: Validate a Peppol BIS invoice

Or fix the invoice in a form and download the corrected file, for 1 credit: Fix a rejected e-invoice
