BR-FR-29
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.
- Read the official text - each sub-rule names the exact business term (BT) involved.
- Check the seller identifiers: SIREN in
CompanyIDwithschemeID="0002". - Check the mandatory French invoice notes (BT-22 with PMT/PMD/AAB prefixes).
- Validate against the

[BR-FR-29/BT-18] : Parmi les identifiants d’objets facturés (BT-18), les schémas d’identification "AFL" et "AVV" ne doivent être présents qu’une seule fois chacun. Actuellement : AFL = occurrence(s), AVV = occurrence(s). Veuillez supprimer les doublons pour respecter la règle.
[BR-FR-29/AFL] : L’identifiant associé au schéma "AFL" (cbc:ID) ne doit pas être vide. Valeur actuelle : "".
[BR-FR-29/AVV] : L’identifiant associé au schéma "AVV" (cbc:ID) ne doit pas être vide. Valeur actuelle : "".
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: Among the invoiced object identifiers (BT-18), the identification schemes "AFL" and "AVV" must each occur at most once.
