BR-DEX-13
XRechnung
FATAL
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
- 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.
Official rule text
Die maximale Anzahl zulässiger Nachkommastellen für das Element "Third party payment amount" (BT-DEX-002) ist 2.
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 amount" (BT-DEX-002) may have at most 2 decimal places.
