Schematrons
A Schematron is a rules-based language for checking patterns in XML files. It governs how a specific type of Document, like an invoice or credit note, is processed.
Receivers
Receivers are used in routing. The following table lists the available Receivers. In most but not all countries, the same Receiver is used for B2G and B2B Documents.
Some countries, like Germany, use different Receivers for different scenarios. For example, in Germany, different Receivers are used for PEPPOL and SMTP:
