BR-FR-24

France · BR-FR (AFNOR/PDP) FATAL

This is a French BR-FR rule from the AFNOR XP Z12-012 standard - a national requirement for invoices exchanged through France's e-invoicing network (PDP platforms) under the September 2026 mandate. Typical French specifics: the seller's SIREN (scheme 0002), mandatory payment mentions (late penalties, recovery costs, discount terms), and the invoicing framework code. The official rule text below is in French - the referenced BT fields identify what to add or fix.

How to fix it
  1. Read the official text - each sub-rule names the exact business term (BT) involved.
  2. Check the seller identifiers: SIREN in CompanyID with schemeID="0002".
  3. Check the mandatory French invoice notes (BT-22 with PMT/PMD/AAB prefixes).
  4. Validate against the fr profile in our API to see all French findings at once.
Official rule text
[BR-FR-24/BT-29] : L'identifiant privé (cbc:ID) ne respecte pas le format autorisé. Valeur actuelle : "". Seuls les caractères alphanumériques et les symboles "-", "_", "." sont autorisés.

[BR-FR-24/BT-46] : L'identifiant privé (cbc:ID) ne respecte pas le format autorisé. Valeur actuelle : "". Seuls les caractères alphanumériques et les symboles "-", "_", "." sont autorisés.

Developers also reach this page searching for a “French e-invoice validation error”, a “Factur-X bill rejected” message, or how to fix a failed PDP compliance check — it's the same issue, explained above.

In short, in English: The private identifier (BT-29, cbc:ID) may only contain alphanumeric characters and the symbols "-", "_", ".".
