When Supplier is Greek and the INVOICE URL Document reference exists, the External Reference URI should be present

Why it fails

An invoice URL document reference exists but carries no URI.

How to fix it

Add the external reference URI (BT-124) to that document reference, or remove the reference.

What the validator checks

Check your own invoice against GR-R-008-3

…or paste the XML instead

Nothing is stored, and the whole invoice is checked, not just this rule. A PDF only works if it is Factur-X / ZUGFeRD — a PDF with the invoice XML inside it.

This is a Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 rule: an invoice can be perfectly valid EN 16931 and still be rejected by it.
