BR-DE-20

XRechnung WARNING

Official rule text

"Debited account identifier" (BT-91) soll eine korrekte IBAN enthalten, wenn in "Payment means type code" (BT-81) mit dem Code 59 SEPA als Zahlungsmittel gefordert wird.

What this error means

This is a German XRechnung rule (BR-DE) - a national requirement added on top of EN 16931 for invoices sent to German public authorities. It commonly concerns contact details, payment information or the buyer reference (Leitweg-ID).

How to fix it

  1. Read the requirement in the rule text above and add the missing element.
  2. Check the buyer reference (BT-10) carries a valid Leitweg-ID.
  3. Seller contact details (phone, email) are mandatory in XRechnung even though EN 16931 makes them optional.
