PEPPOL-EN16931-R010
Peppol requires a buyer electronic address (BT-49), and it is missing.

Why it happens
The buyer's network address was not supplied. This is what routes the invoice to the recipient on the Peppol network, so an access point cannot deliver without it.
How to fix it
Set cbc:EndpointID on the customer party, with a schemeID from the CEF EAS code list — for example 0208 for a Belgian enterprise number, 9930 for a German VAT identifier.
