Original rule text

[BR-08]-An Invoice shall contain the Seller postal address.

Stored validation assertion
exists(cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress)

BR-08 is a fatal rule in the business layer of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20 · UBL. An invoice that breaks it is rejected.

What this rule requires

The rule requires that an invoice or credit note contains a seller postal address. It checks that the element cac:PostalAddress exists under cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party. Because this is a fatal rule, a document without that element is rejected.

How to fix

Add cac:PostalAddress inside cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party in the invoice or credit note. The rule only checks that the element is present; it does not require particular child address elements or values.

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