What it means
For a seller in Denmark (DK), the check requires non-whitespace text in cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyID. It checks that a value is present, not whether it is a correctly formatted CVR number or has a particular schemeID.
Why it matters
The company registration number identifies the Danish seller in the structured data.
How to fix it
Enter the seller's actual CVR number in BT-30. In UBL, it belongs in cac:AccountingSupplierParty/cac:Party/cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyID, not just in the seller's VAT number or electronic address. Export the corrected invoice or credit note and check it again.
