BR-DE-21

Seller Address Street Missing (BT-35)

What This Error Means

The seller's street address (BT-35, cbc:StreetName) is mandatory for XRechnung invoices. EN 16931 marks it as optional, but the German extension requires it for tax compliance and GoBD archiving purposes.

How to Fix It

Add the full street name and house number to cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress/cbc:StreetName.

XML Example
<cac:PostalAddress>
  <cbc:StreetName>Musterstraße 12</cbc:StreetName>
  <cbc:CityName>Berlin</cbc:CityName>
  <cbc:PostalZone>10115</cbc:PostalZone>
  <cac:Country><cbc:IdentificationCode>DE</cbc:IdentificationCode></cac:Country>
</cac:PostalAddress>
