The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Ask the sender for a corrected invoice with the full company or personal name.
  2. If you created the invoice yourself: add your name to the master data in your invoicing software.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – seller name missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. The electronic invoice does not contain the name of the seller (rule BR-06). Could you please send us a corrected version that states your name or company name?

Kind regards

Example
