Official rule text

Das Element "Deliver to post code" (BT-78) muss übermittelt werden, wenn die Gruppe "DELIVER TO ADDRESS" (BG-15) übermittelt wird.

Why it happens

As with BR-DE-10, a partially filled group; the two findings almost always appear together.

How to fix it

Add the post code in BT-78 (cbc:PostalZone in UBL, ram:PostcodeCode under the delivery address in CII) — or omit group BG-15.
