Missing Codice Destinatario in Italy

This is the rejection, word for word: „[BR-IT-04] Italian FatturaPA invoices require the 7-character recipient code (Codice Destinatario).“

Why this matters in Italy

Italy requires e-invoicing using FatturaPA (XML). An invoice with this error is rejected; it cannot be processed under Italy's rules.

SDI uses Codice Destinatario to route invoices to the correct recipient.
