Official rule text
Das Element "Seller city" (BT-37) muss übermittelt werden.
Why it happens
The address often exists internally as one combined address line. Without clean separation into street, post code and city, the structured city field stays empty.
How to fix it
Send the city in BT-37: cac:PostalAddress/cbc:CityName in UBL, ram:PostalTradeAddress/ram:CityName in CII. Split addresses into individual fields once, in the master data.
