## Official rule text

An Invoice shall contain the Buyer postal address (BG-8).

## Why did my invoice fail BR-10?

The invoice must contain the Buyer postal address (BG-8), the group of address elements locating the buyer. Its presence is required so buyer-address sub-rules such as the country code can be validated. In UBL it is cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress.

## Common causes

- The Buyer cac:PostalAddress element is missing.
- Only a Delivery address was provided, not the buyer's postal address.
- The PostalAddress element is present but empty.
- Buyer address details were mistakenly placed under the seller party.
