EN 16931 FATAL

Official rule text

An Invoice shall contain the Buyer name (BT-44).

What this error means

The invoice must contain the Buyer name (BT-44), under cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:RegistrationName.

How to fix it

Add the buyer's legal name in cbc:RegistrationName on the customer party.
Check you did not put the name only in cac:PartyName - that maps to the trading name, not BT-44.
