The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  2. Give them your correct billing address so the correction is right first time.

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that the city is missing from our billing address (rule BR-DE-8). An XRechnung is not valid without it.
