What it means
In UBL invoices and credit notes, the seller's electronic address (BT-34) at cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID must contain no more than 125 characters. All characters count, including whitespace. The check applies regardless of schemeID.
Why it matters
The French rules set a maximum length for this electronic address. A longer value fails this check, but the length check alone does not establish whether the address is correct.
How to fix it
Check the seller's electronic address against the details from whoever assigned it. Correct cbc:EndpointID, removing unrelated text only after confirming that it is not part of the address. If the confirmed address still exceeds 125 characters, ask the assigning organisation which address you should use. Do not truncate it. Export the corrected file and check it again.
