Scheme identifier is missing from the buyer electronic address

Error BR-63 EN 16931

The Buyer electronic address (BT-49) shall have a Scheme identifier.

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

If ram:BuyerTradeParty contains an electronic address through ram:URIUniversalCommunication, its ram:URIID is missing a non-empty schemeID attribute. The buyer electronic address identifier (BT-49) is therefore incomplete.

What the rule means

The scheme identifier indicates which scheme is used to interpret the buyer’s electronic address.

Affected fields BT-49
Please add the scheme identifier to the buyer electronic address

The scheme identifier is missing from the buyer’s electronic address. Add it to the associated ram:URIID.

What to do
  1. Add a non-empty schemeID attribute to the ram:URIID of the buyer address.
  2. Check the call to SetBuyerElectronicAddress(...).
  3. Generate the invoice again and validate it once more.

Good to know

The rule is also satisfied if no ram:URIUniversalCommunication is present for the buyer.

Technical details

The test passes if the normalized schemeID attribute of the first ram:URIID is non-empty, or if no ram:URIUniversalCommunication exists for the buyer.

Where the rule applies

The rule applies to the first ram:URIUniversalCommunication inside ram:BuyerTradeParty and the schemeID attribute of its ram:URIID.
