Official rule text
[PEPPOL-COMMON-R049] Swedish organization number MUST be stated in the correct format.
Why this error occurs
An identifier with schemeID 0007 is a Swedish organisation number and must be exactly ten digits with a valid Luhn check digit. The rule checks cbc:EndpointID, cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID and cbc:CompanyID with schemeID 0007 (UBL) or ram:URIID, ram:ID, ram:GlobalID with schemeID 0007 (CII) for length 10, numeric content and checksum. It fails on the hyphenated form 556677-8899, the SE prefix, the 12-digit VAT number SE556677889901 or a transposed digit.
How to fix it
Write the ten digits without hyphen, e.g. 5566778899, and verify the Luhn checksum. The VAT number (SE + 10 digits + 01) belongs in cac:PartyTaxScheme/cbc:CompanyID or under EAS scheme 9955 on the endpoint, not under 0007. Take the number from Bolagsverket's register entry of the party.
