BR-DE-2 — E-Invoice Validation Rule & Fix

Fixture ID: emptyXRechnung · XPath: /ubl:Invoice/cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:Contact

1. Why This Rule Triggers (Diagnostic Message)

XRechnung requires the seller contact group (BG-6), and requires it complete: contact point (BT-41), telephone number (BT-42) and email address (BT-43) are each individually mandatory under BR-DE-5, BR-DE-6 and BR-DE-7. A public-sector payer must have a named human route to query the invoice.

2. How to Fix BR-DE-2

Set seller.contact with all three of name, phone and email. A shared departmental identity is fine and usually preferable to a named individual.

3. Valid Code / Payload Example

"contact": { "name": "Buchhaltung", "phone": "+49 30 1234567", "email": "rechnungen@example.de" }
