BR-08

Error (blocking) EN 16931 (UBL)EN 16931 (CII)

Official rule text

[BR-08]-An Invoice shall contain the Seller postal address.

What it means

The seller postal address group (BG-5) is mandatory. The rule checks for the presence of cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress in UBL (ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:PostalTradeAddress in CII) and fires when the whole block is absent.

How to fix it

Add the cac:PostalAddress block under the supplier party (BG-5), including at least cac:Country/cbc:IdentificationCode (BT-40) - BR-09 requires the country code inside it.

Business terms involved: BG-5BT-40

🇫🇷 En français

Le groupe adresse postale du vendeur (BG-5) est obligatoire. La règle vérifie la présence de cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress en UBL (ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:PostalTradeAddress en CII) et tombe quand le bloc entier manque.

Correction : Ajoutez le bloc cac:PostalAddress sous la partie vendeur (BG-5), avec au minimum cac:Country/cbc:IdentificationCode (BT-40) - BR-09 exige le code pays à l'intérieur.
