PEPPOL-EN16931-R020: Seller electronic address MUST be provided
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL
Original rule text
[PEPPOL-EN16931-R020]-Seller electronic address MUST be provided
cbc:EndpointIDPEPPOL-EN16931-R020 is a fatal rule in the format layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected.
What this rule requires
The rule requires that the seller party element cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party contains a cbc:EndpointID element. In UBL, this element carries the seller's electronic address. A document fails validation when this element is missing from that location. The test checks only for the presence of cbc:EndpointID; it does not check whether the element has a non-empty value.
How to fix
Add a cbc:EndpointID element inside cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party, and set its value to the seller's electronic address. If invoices are generated automatically, ensure the seller master data includes this address and is mapped to cbc:EndpointID.
