The seller's electronic address is missing
BT-34 carries the seller's electronic address, the counterpart of BT-49.
Only the issuer holds this value: Factlint reports it and never fabricates it. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected.

Why this error happens
It identifies the issuer to the platforms and governs life-cycle status exchanges: without it, acknowledgements and rejections have no recipient.
How to fix it
Fill in the electronic address declared with your accredited platform, together with its identification scheme.
Severity returned by the rule set
Blocking since 1 September 2026: the current base, `fr-2026-09`, seals the FNFE 1.4.0.03 artefact in fatal mode, and it is the one the pinned engine applies by default. An invoice issued in August 2026 is judged against `fr-2026-08`, where the same rule comes out as a warning — which already rules out a “compliant” verdict. The API returns the severity of the rule set pinned for the judged invoice.
