What it means
When a number is marked with scheme 0192, it must be a Norwegian organisation number. The test needs exactly 9 digits, and the last digit must be the correct check digit for the others (modulus 11). The check applies wherever the scheme is used: in the electronic address (BT-34 or BT-49), in a party identifier (such as BT-29 or BT-46) and in a company registration number (such as BT-30 or BT-47).
Why it matters
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 requires values marked with scheme 0192 to contain 9 digits and pass the modulus 11 check.
How to fix it
Copy the organisation number from the company's record at the Brønnøysund Register Centre, or from its letterhead, and enter only the 9 digits. Remove the NO prefix and the MVA suffix, which belong to the Norwegian VAT number, and any spaces or dots. If the number still fails, a digit is probably mistyped, because the last digit is calculated from the others.
