Journal entries were posted with an empty Alternative G/L Account, resulting in empty AccountID element in the SAF-T Accounting report, which violates the minimum length requirement.

Maintain an alternative G/L Account for the main G/L account. It will solve the issue for new accounting documents.

For the already posted documents, consider to contact to your local business / legal advisor / auditor to manage these validation errors with the Tax Authority.
