What it means

The seller address on the invoice must hold six items: street name, building number, postal code, city, district and country code. These come from the national address.

When it happens

The district (CitySubdivisionName) is missing.
The business details were entered before integration, without the full national address.
A new branch was added without an address.

How to fix it

Get the business's national address from SPL (Saudi Post).
Enter all six fields in the branch settings.
Generate the invoice again and send it.

We ran the wrong example through ZATCA's SDK 238-R3.3.8 on 26 October 2026 and it raised BR-KSA-09. The example is an excerpt of ZATCA's sample Simplified/Invoice/Simplified_Invoice.xml with one change; the sample without it does not raise the code.
