Original rule text
[IT-R-003]-BT-37 (Seller city) - Italian suppliers MUST provide the postal address city - I fornitori italiani devono indicare la città di residenza.
cac:PostalAddress/cbc:CityNameIT-R-003 is a fatal rule in the country layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected. It refers to BT-37.
What this rule requires
The rule applies when the supplier country is determined to be 'IT', based on the VAT country code prefix, tax representative VAT country code, or postal address country code. For such Italian suppliers, the supplier postal address must contain a cac:PostalAddress/cbc:CityName element. A document fails validation when this element is absent from cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party.
How to fix
Add cac:PostalAddress/cbc:CityName inside cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party for the Italian supplier and provide the city name. If the element exists but is empty, supply a non-empty value to meet the requirement.
