Seller name is missing

Error BR-06 EN 16931

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

Mandatory rule: As long as it is violated, the invoice is invalid and will be rejected by validators.
What is wrong

What the rule means

The name identifies the seller as a party to the invoice and associates the seller details with that party.

Affected fields BT-27

What to do
  1. Add a non-empty ram:Name inside ram:SellerTradeParty in the XML.

  3. Generate the invoice again and validate it once more.
