BR-DEX-10
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).
- Read the requirement in the rule text below and add the missing element.
- Check the buyer reference (BT-10) carries a valid Leitweg-ID.
- Seller contact details (phone, email) are mandatory in XRechnung even though EN 16931 makes them optional.
Das Element "Third party payment type" BT-DEX-001 muss übermittelt werden, wenn die Gruppe "THIRD PARTY PAYMENT" (BG-DEX-09) übermittelt wird.
Developers also reach this page searching for an “XRechnung validation error”, a “German e-invoice rejected” message, or how to correct a failed ZUGFeRD/Factur-X-style check — it's the same issue, explained above.
In short, in English: The element "Third party payment type" (BT-DEX-001) must be provided when the group "THIRD PARTY PAYMENT" (BG-DEX-09) is provided.
