PEPPOL: Buyer Reference

For PEPPOL communications, you must include a reference that can be used to identify the Buyer. An example could be the ordering person's employee number or another ID. This value is often by the recipient for routing.

PEPPOL requies that you specify an BuyerReference as described here or an Order Reference as described in the PEPPOL Order Reference topic.

If the Buyer does not specify such a reference, you can add the name of the customer or whatever identifier you like.

Use the BuyerReference element to model this information.

For example:

<Invoice>
    <!-- code omitted for clarity -->
    <cbc:BuyerReference>0150etzzx</cbc:BuyerReference>
    <!-- code omitted for clarity -->
</Invoice>
