An Invoice shall contain the Seller postal address.

Why it fails

The Seller postal address (BG-5) is missing entirely.

How to fix it

Add the seller's postal address group. Only the country code (BT-40) is strictly mandatory, but send street, city and post code too - many national profiles and most buyers' ERP systems require them. UBL: AccountingSupplierParty/Party/cac:PostalAddress.
