What is DE-R-023-2?

DE-R-023-2 is a fatal validation rule defined in the PEPPOL_BIS specification (DEU national rules). It validates the StreetName element under DeliveryLocation > Address in the UBL invoice XML.

When this rule fires, the invoice is rejected by Peppol access points and never reaches the buyer.

Target path: //cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address/cbc:StreetName

Why This Error Matters

Invoice will be rejected by German XRechnung validators. German e-invoicing has specific format requirements for payment details, contact information, and attachments.

DE-R-023-2 is a hard failure — the invoice must be corrected and re-sent before it can reach the recipient.
