What it means
When you supply a SIRET for the buyer's service provider in EXT-FR-FE-92, 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 buyer'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 buyer's service provider.
How to fix it
Compare the SIRET and SIREN in the buyer's service provider details with that company's confirmed registration details. Correct whichever number is wrong. Do not replace them with the buyer's own identifiers unless the party details themselves are incorrect. Generate the file again and recheck it.
