This validator uses the latest Peppol BIS 2023-11 rules.

This is the "November 2023" release announced on 2023-11-28.

It is valid per 2024-02-26 00:00 CEST.

The next Peppol update is foreseen in May 2024.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Required tools:

• curl
• unzip

As a prerequisite you need the KoSIT Validator to run it.

# download validator
curl -L "https://github.com/itplr-kosit/validator/releases/download/v1.4.2/validator-1.4.2-distribution.zip" --output validator.zip

# unzip the validator (ensure the target directory "bin" is empty before unzipping)
unzip validator.zip -d bin/

Running the validator

Required tools:

• Java 1.8 or Java 11 - Java 17 does not seem to work

Verify all examples files (test-files/good/*.xml) and produced HTML output to directory result-reports/ - all of them should be valid:

java -jar bin/validationtool-1.4.2-java8-standalone.jar -s scenarios.xml -h -o result-reports/ test-files/good/ubl/*.xml

Note: eventually you need to explicitly use "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" on Windows
