This is a property of the file you received, so it cannot be corrected on your side without changing the document — ask the supplier to reissue it.

Worked example · UBL

The buyer's electronic address (BT-49) is what the network routes on, so Peppol makes it mandatory with a schemeID from the EAS list.
