BR-IC-12: Intra-community supply without deliver-to country
A rule from EN 16931. What the message means and how to fix it.
What the message means
If the invoice contains category K (intra-community supply), the country of the delivery address (BT-80) must be given. Many programs write no delivery address at all when it equals the billing address.
How to fix it
Add the delivery address with country code (for example FR), even if it is the same as the billing address.
Where the field is in the file
- UBL:
cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address/cac:Country/cbc:IdentificationCode - CII:
ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeDelivery/ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:PostalTradeAddress/ram:CountryID
The rule applies to every format built on EN 16931: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, and other national CIUS.
