Greek Suppliers must provide the VAT number of the buyer, if the buyer is Greek

Why it fails

The buyer is Greek but has no VAT number on the invoice.

How to fix it

Add the buyer's VAT identifier (BT-48) with the EL prefix.

…or paste the XML instead

Nothing is stored, and the whole invoice is checked, not just this rule. A PDF only works if it is Factur-X / ZUGFeRD — a PDF with the invoice XML inside it.

This is a Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 rule: an invoice can be perfectly valid EN 16931 and still be rejected by it.
