The buyer electronic address (BT-49) is the address to which the invoice is delivered 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.

How to fix it

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – scheme of our electronic address missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. In the electronic invoice our electronic address does not say what kind of address it is (rule BR-63), for example e-mail. Could you please send us a corrected version?

Kind regards

Example

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