Fixture ID: empty · XPath: /ubl:Invoice/cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyName/cbc:Name

1. Why This Rule Triggers (Diagnostic Message)

An invoice must contain the buyer name (BT-44). Without it the recipient cannot prove the invoice was addressed to them, which is a condition of deducting the input VAT.

2. How to Fix BR-07

Set buyer.name to the legal name of the organisation being billed, exactly as they gave it to you.

3. Valid Code / Payload Example

"buyer": { "name": "Kunde GmbH" }
