BR-06: An Invoice shall contain the Seller name (BT-27)
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL
Original rule text
[BR-06]-An Invoice shall contain the Seller name (BT-27).
normalize-space(cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName) != ''BR-06 is a fatal rule in the business layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected. It refers to BT-27.
What this rule requires
The rule requires the invoice or credit note to contain a non-empty Seller name (BT-27). In UBL this is checked in cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName, and in CII in ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:Name. The test normalizes whitespace, so the value must not be missing, empty, or consist only of whitespace.
How to fix
Set the seller name element to a non-empty value. For UBL, add or fill cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName under /ubl:Invoice or /cn:CreditNote. For CII, add or fill rsm:SupplyChainTradeTransaction/ram:ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement/ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:Name. If the source data has no seller name, correct the master data or source system before generating the invoice.
