The delivery address has no city · BR-DE-10

  • Severity · Error
  • Applies to · UBL / CII
  • Editorial review pending

If an XRechnung contains a delivery address (BG-15), it must include the city (BT-77). The invoice gives a delivery address without a city, so it is not valid. Invoices with no delivery address at all are not affected by this rule.

As of

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 delivery address is complete or, if it is not needed, left out entirely.
  2. If you issued the invoice yourself: either fill in the delivery address completely (at least city, postcode and country) or leave the block empty.

Rule text and source

Paraphrase · When the delivery recipient address is present, its city field (BT-77) must contain a value.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – city missing from delivery address

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that the delivery address does not include a city (rule BR-DE-10). An XRechnung is not valid like this. Could you please send the invoice again with a complete delivery address?

Kind regards

Example

The delivery recipient address is present but its city field is blank. The sender fills BT-77 with the value from the actual address, in this example Bonn.
