The seller's email address looks invalid · BR-DE-28
- Severity · Warning
- Applies to · UBL / CII
- Editorial review pending
The seller contact's email address (BT-43) should be structured like a real address: exactly one @ sign with at least two characters before and after it, no space or dot right next to the @, and no dot at the start or end. The value entered deviates from this. The invoice is still valid, but email queries may bounce.
As of
Who can correct it?
The sender can correct the invoice.
How to fix it
- The invoice is valid; you can process it.
- When convenient, point out the typo in the email address to the sender.
- If you issued the invoice yourself: check the email address in your contact details for spaces and typos.
Rule text and source
Paraphrase · The configured format check for the seller email address (BT-43) expects an address without spaces and a domain containing a dot after the @.
Message to the sender
Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – note on the email address
Hello,
Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. Our check flagged that the email address given for your contact is not structured like a valid address (rule BR-DE-28). The invoice is valid, but please check the address for future invoices so that queries reach you.
Kind regardsExample
The export contains accounting@example with no domain suffix. If accounting@example.com is the confirmed contact address, the sender enters it in BT-43.
