Tax representative VAT identifier is missing

Error BR-56 EN 16931

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

Affected fields BG-11 BT-63
Please add the tax representative’s VAT identifier

  2. Check FacturXInvoice.SellerTaxRepresentativeTaxRegistration and LegalOrganization.ID for the tax representative details.
