Make the field 'country' mandatory as this is necessary to send invoices via Peppol

As invoices are not being sent through Peppol if the country is not selected, can’t we make that field mandatory?  Otherwise I have to keep checking if nothing was missed!

Hi, ​@Caroline H. thanks for raising this. We appreciate you taking the time to point out this scenario in the context of Peppol e-invoicing.

This kind of input is helpful for us as we continue to review how data requirements and validations support reliable electronic invoicing flows. I’ve shared this feedback with the team so it can be taken into account as we continue to review and evolve our electronic invoicing setup, particularly around data requirements and validations.

Thanks again for contributing your insights and helping us refine the experience.

      In Settings > Property > Guest Experience > Check In Form - you can make the country field ‘Required’ in the address section, if this is what you mean? I don't think this affects the online booking however

      We do not think it would be a good idea to make this field mandatory. In some cases, invoices should not go through Peppol, such as non-profit organisations (VZW’s) and shipping companies (rederijen). In these cases, you can still create an invoice - also without a VAT number -  if the ‘country’ field remains blank.
