Original rule text

[GR-R-002]-Greek Suppliers must provide their full name as they are registered in the Greek Business Registry (G.E.MH.) as a legal entity or in the Tax Registry as a natural person

GR-R-002 is a fatal rule in the country layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.21 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected.

What this rule requires

For a Greek supplier (country code GR or EL), the UBL cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party must contain a cac:PartyName/cbc:Name with a non-empty text value. The rule's message says the name must be the full name as registered in the Greek Business Registry (G.E.MH.) or Tax Registry, but the test only checks that the name is not empty, so an invoice fails this rule only when the name is missing or empty.

How to fix

Ensure that the supplier party has cac:PartyName/cbc:Name populated with a non-empty value. To also meet the rule's stated intent, use the supplier's full registered name (legal entity from G.E.MH. or natural person from Tax Registry), but the validation test will accept any non-empty string.

Guidance on this rule. The original text above is authoritative.
