The schemeID attribute is missing on an identifier

Typed identifiers must carry their scheme: `VA` on a VAT identifier, `0088` on a GLN.

This defect is fixed automatically. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected, then apply the correction with the Pipeline Pro plan.

Test your file with this error in mind

Upload the invoice involved: the report will say whether this code appears, where it appears in the document, and whether Factlint can only report it or also fix it.

To automate this check in an ERP flow, call the validation API and link every returned code to its public page.

Why this error happens

Without a schemeID the recipient does not know how to interpret the identifier. The expected value follows from the type of identifier and its position in the document.

How to fix it

The scheme is filled in and the correction traced.
