BR-DE-11 XRechnung requires a post code in the delivery address

noun · XRechnung · fatal · BT-78

For a sample invoice, the library reports: XRechnung requires the element "Deliver to post code" (BT-78) 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.

Diese Regel auf Deutsch: BR-DE-11 — auf Deutsch erklärt.

Business term

BT-78

Severity

fatal

The fix

Either set deliverTo.postalCode, or drop deliverTo entirely and keep only deliveryDate (BT-72) — unless a rule such as BR-IC-12 requires the destination country, in which case you must supply the full address.

A passing value

"deliverTo": { "city": "Lyon", "postalCode": "69001", "countryCode": "FR" }

What the library returns

The full error returned by @attestwire/en16931. It includes the rule ID, affected field and suggested correction. Developers can use this object in their application:

xpath is always a UBL path. On a CII invoice, look for the matching CII field instead.
