BR-DEX-14
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 Währungsangabe von "Third party payment amount" BT-DEX-002 muss BT-5 ("Invoice currency code") entsprechen.
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 currency of "Third party payment amount" (BT-DEX-002) must match the "Invoice currency code" (BT-5).
