Features

When a Global Location Number (GLN) is specified in the Party/PartyIdentification/ID element and this is indicated by the Party/PartyIdentification/ID@schemeID being 0088, the service will now validate the check digit as this is required for valid GLNs. If the GLN does not pass this test, it will be rejected.
