The group "SELLER CONTACT" (BG-6) shall be provided.

Why it fails

XRechnung requires the seller contact group (BG-6); it is missing.

How to fix it

Add BG-6 with all three of: contact point BT-41 (a name or department), telephone BT-42 and e-mail BT-43. UBL: AccountingSupplierParty/Party/cac:Contact with cbc:Name, cbc:Telephone and cbc:ElectronicMail. All three are mandatory in Germany even though EN 16931 makes them optional.

What the validator checks
