BR-09

The Seller postal address (BG-5) shall contain a Seller country code (BT-40).

error: the document is invalid Peppol documentation ↗

Why it fails

  • The seller's address has no cac:Country/cbc:IdentificationCode (ram:CountryID in CII), or the country is written out as a name.

How to fix it

Add the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the seller's country, such as DE or FR.
