BG-5
Seller postal address (group)
What does this term mean?
BG-5 is “Seller postal address (group)” — a group of related data fields (Business Group) of the European e-invoicing standard EN 16931. It is therefore part of the XRechnung, ZUGFeRD/Factur-X and Peppol BIS 3.0 formats, which all build on EN 16931.
Where the term appears
In an e-invoice's XML, BG-5 appears as a concrete element (named differently in UBL vs CII). Beleggo's generator fills the field in, and the validator checks the whole invoice — including this field — against EN 16931 and XRechnung, free and locally in your browser.
