PEPPOL-EN16931-R020: Seller electronic address is missing
A rule from a Peppol rule (also part of the German KoSIT configuration). What the message means and how to fix it.
What the message means
The invoice must contain an electronic address of the seller (BT-34) that the receiver can reply to: in Peppol usually the Peppol participant ID, in XRechnung often an e-mail address with scheme “EM”.
How to fix it
Enter your Peppol ID with its scheme (for example schemeID="0088" for a GLN or "9930" for a German VAT number) or, where e-mail is accepted, your e-mail address with schemeID="EM".
Where the field is in the file
- UBL:
cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cbc:EndpointID[@schemeID] - CII:
ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID[@schemeID]
The rule applies to every format built on EN 16931: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, and other national CIUS.
