EN 16931 FATAL

Official rule text

An Invoice shall contain the Seller name (BT-27).

What this error means

The invoice must contain the Seller name (BT-27) - the legal name of the supplier, under cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName.

How to fix it

  1. Add the seller's registered legal name in cbc:RegistrationName.
  2. The trading name (BT-28) does not satisfy this rule - both may be present, but the legal name is the mandatory one.
