Peppol

UQ: Under query

What it means

Peppol status UQ in an Invoice Response means the buyer will not go on to accept the invoice until the seller gives more information.

The usual cause

The buyer has a question about the invoice; the response carries a reason code, an explanation or both saying what it is, for example REF for missing references.

How to fix it

Answer the buyer's question outside Peppol, by the means you agreed with them. The buyer may then continue processing or raise further questions.
