BR-DE-10Das Element "Deliver to city" (BT-77) muss übermittelt werden, wenn die Gruppe "DELIVER TO ADDRESS" (BG-15) übermittelt wird.

Official rule text

Once a delivery address (BG-15) is in the document it must carry the city (BT-77), and otherwise the rule never fires. The group is "DELIVER TO ADDRESS", and a delivery date on its own is not one.

Written and checked against the official KoSIT rule set by Dmytro Yalanskyi, NormAPI.

Why does BR-DE-10 happen?

A half-filled delivery address: once the address group is in the document the source system fills only the fields it has — leaving, say, a country without a city. A delivery date on its own does not trigger the rule: in UBL BT-72 sits at cac:Delivery/cbc:ActualDeliveryDate, beside the address rather than inside it. Note too that the expression below does not show the condition — it lives in the rule's context, the path cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address, which the export drops. That is why BR-DE-10 reads there exactly like BR-DE-3 and BR-DE-8.

What the validator checks

The expression the official KoSIT rule set evaluates — not paraphrased, but read from the Schematron file it ships. UBL and CII address different document trees, so the same rule reads differently in each.

UBL
cbc:CityName[boolean(normalize-space(.))]
CII
ram:CityName[boolean(normalize-space(.))]

How do you fix BR-DE-10?

Either transmit the delivery address completely (city in BT-77: cac:Delivery/cac:DeliveryLocation/cac:Address/cbc:CityName in UBL, ram:ShipToTradeParty/ram:PostalTradeAddress/ram:CityName in CII) — or omit group BG-15 entirely if you do not mean to state one.
