BR-KSA-63: Saudi buyer needs a full national address on standard invoices

Explained by Matheel from ZATCA's rule text and the condition SDK 3.4.8 executes · Updated October 24, 2026

Warning: accepted with a warningStandard tax invoices (B2B)Fields: BT-55, BT-50, KSA-18, BT-53, BT-52, KSA-4

When the buyer's cac:PostalAddress/cac:Country/cbc:IdentificationCode (BT-55) is 'SA', the buyer address must have non-blank cbc:StreetName (BT-50), cbc:BuildingNumber (KSA-18), cbc:PostalZone (BT-53), cbc:CityName (BT-52), cbc:CitySubdivisionName (district, KSA-4) and the country code. The check only runs on standard tax invoices and their notes (@name starting '01'), which the official text does not state.

How to fix it

Fill all six fields under cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party/cac:PostalAddress: cbc:StreetName, cbc:BuildingNumber, cbc:PostalZone, cbc:CityName, cbc:CitySubdivisionName and cac:Country/cbc:IdentificationCode.
