BR-DEX-15
XRechnung
WARNING
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
This CII file might use the concept of Sub Invoice Lines. However XRechnung does not support this.
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: This CII file appears to use the concept of Sub Invoice Lines, which XRechnung does not support.
