The seller electronic address (BT-34) is the address at which the seller can be reached electronically. It must come with a scheme identifier that says what kind of address it is, for example EM for an e-mail address or 0204 for a German Leitweg-ID. Without the scheme the e-invoice is not valid.

Who can correct it?

The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Ask the sender for a corrected invoice in which the type of their electronic address is specified.
  2. If you created the invoice yourself: select the address type for the electronic address in your invoicing software, EM for an e-mail address.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – electronic address scheme missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. In the electronic invoice your electronic address does not say what kind of address it is (rule BR-62), for example e-mail. Could you please send us a corrected version?

Kind regards

Example

The export includes the seller electronic address but omits the scheme identifier. The sender adds the identifier for the scheme actually used in the relevant attribute.
