Does the address information in customer master must be identical to the address information in the VAT certificate? or the address ex.: the postal code can be different or the street/ house number can be generic or N/A?

As per the Electronic Invoice XML Implementation, role (BR-KSA-10) Buyer address must contain a street (BT-50), city (BT-52), postal code (BT-53), country code (BT55).  
This rule does not apply on the simplified tax invoices and associated credit notes and debit notes (KSA-2, position 1 and 2 =02).
