In an XRechnung the seller must give a contact email address (BT-43). This field is empty or missing, so the invoice is not valid.

As of

Who can correct it?

The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Ask the sender for a corrected invoice that includes the contact's email address.
  2. If you issued the invoice yourself: enter your email address in the seller contact field, not only in the letterhead or a free-text note.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – email address missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that your contact's email address is missing (rule BR-DE-7). An XRechnung is not valid without it. Could you please send the invoice again with this information added?

Kind regards

Example
