BR-DE-10
A delivery address was supplied without a city.
ErrorXRechnungUBLCII
Why it happens
A partial delivery address was emitted — often triggered accidentally by mapping a single delivery field.
How to fix it
Either complete the delivery address with city and post code, or omit the delivery address group entirely. A partial group is worse than none.
