BR-DE-4: seller post code missing

The seller's address in an XRechnung needs a post code (BT-38).

What the validator reports

BR-DE-4: Das Element "Seller post code" (BT-38) muss übermittelt werden.

This is the message our validator returns for an invoice with this problem. The text is the official rule text.

The official XRechnung rule texts are published in German, so the message is in German.

How to fix it

Fill in the post code of the seller's address.

In the XML (UBL)

<cac:PostalAddress>
  <cbc:CityName>Berlin</cbc:CityName>
  <cbc:PostalZone>10115</cbc:PostalZone>
</cac:PostalAddress>

With the Valinvo API (JSON)

"address": {
  "city": "Berlin",
  "postalCode": "10115",
  "countryCode": "DE"
}
