PEPPOL-EN16931-R020: seller electronic address missing

Peppol identifies the sender by address too. The seller's electronic address (BT-34) is their Peppol participant ID with its scheme.

What the validator reports

PEPPOL-EN16931-R020: Seller 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 seller'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 seller's electronicAddress.

In the XML (UBL)

<cbc:EndpointID schemeID="0208">0456789034</cbc:EndpointID>

With the Valinvo API (JSON)

"electronicAddress": {
  "scheme": "0208",
  "value": "0456789034"
}
