Rule reference

BR-DE-7 XRechnung requires the element "Seller contact email address" (BT-43)

XRechnung requires the element "Seller contact email address" (BT-43). 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.

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.
