What it means
When you supply a SIRET for the seller's service provider in EXT-FR-FE-115, this rule checks that it contains 14 digits and begins with the associated SIREN. In UBL, the context is cac:ServiceProviderParty/cac:Party under the seller's cac:Party. The test uses the first selected SIRET and passes if none is present.
Why it matters
The two identifiers need to describe the same company and establishment acting as the seller's service provider.
How to fix it
Compare the SIRET and SIREN in the seller's service provider details with that company's confirmed registration details. Correct whichever number is wrong. Do not replace them with the seller's own identifiers unless the party details themselves are incorrect. Generate the file again and recheck it.
