BR-DE-10 XRechnung requires the element "Deliver to city" (BT-77) whenever the deliver-to address group (BG-15) is present
XRechnung requires the element "Deliver to city" (BT-77) whenever the deliver-to address group (BG-15) is present. BG-15 is optional, but it is all-or-nothing: a delivery address consisting only of a country code is rejected, even though core EN 16931 accepts it.
This rule is implemented and its error payload below is real, but the long-form write-up — normative text, worked example, divergence note — is not written yet. Everything the library knows about this rule is on this page. Ask and we will prioritise it.

xpath locates the element in the generated UBL document,
which is where a KoSIT or Peppol validator will report the same problem.
