PEPPOL-EN16931-R010: buyer electronic address missing

Peppol delivers invoices by address. The buyer's electronic address (BT-49), their Peppol participant ID with its scheme, tells the network where to deliver.

What the validator reports

PEPPOL-EN16931-R010: Buyer electronic address MUST be provided

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

How to fix it

Add the buyer's endpoint ID and its scheme. Belgian companies use scheme 0208 with the ten-digit enterprise number; other countries use other schemes. In the JSON it is the buyer's electronicAddress.

In the XML (UBL)

<cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0208">0765432146</cbc:EndpointID>

With the Valinvo API (JSON)

"electronicAddress": {
  "scheme": "0208",
  "value": "0765432146"
}
