BR-DE-5 — E-Invoice Validation Rule & Fix

Fixture ID: contactNoName · XPath: /ubl:Invoice/cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:Contact/cbc:Name

1. Why This Rule Triggers (Diagnostic Message)

XRechnung requires the element "Seller contact point" (BT-41). The seller contact group is present but incomplete — BR-DE-5, BR-DE-6 and BR-DE-7 each make one part of it mandatory, so supplying two of the three still fails.

2. How to Fix BR-DE-5

Set seller.contact.name to the person or desk that answers invoice queries — a department name such as "Buchhaltung" is acceptable.

3. Valid Code / Payload Example

"contact": { "name": "Buchhaltung" }
