Validation rules

BR-10 — EN 16931 rule

The buyer postal address (BG-8) is missing.

Rule: BR-10 — official EN 16931 / XRechnung rule
Severity: error
Detected by: tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability: Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

invoice.buyer.address (with a country) is required by the request schema, so generated documents always contain BG-8.

How to fix it

Add cac:PostalAddress to the customer party — the country code (BT-55) is the minimum EN 16931 requires.
