Validation rules

BR-DE-28

The seller contact email (BT-43) does not look like an email address — exactly one @, at least two characters on each side, no leading/trailing dot.

Rule: BR-DE-28 — official EN 16931 / XRechnung rule
Severity: warning
Business term: BT-43 — Seller contact email
Field in your JSON: invoice.seller.contact.email
Detected by: tier 3 — KoSIT validator (authoritative)
Reachability: Only reachable when validating your own XML — normbill-generated documents cannot trigger it

The request schema already validates emails strictly (z.email), so generated documents cannot carry an implausible BT-43.

How to fix it

Correct invoice.seller.contact.email.
