BR-FR-CO-12
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-CO-12/BT-5] : Si la devise de facture (BT-5) est différente de EUR, alors : - la devise de comptabilité (BT-6) doit être présente et égale à EUR, - le montant de TVA en devise de comptabilité (BT-111) doit être renseigné, - et sa devise (BT-111-1) doit être égale à EUR. Valeurs actuelles : BT-5="", BT-6="", BT-111=""/>".
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: If the invoice currency (BT-5) is not EUR, the VAT accounting currency (BT-6) must be present and equal to EUR, the VAT amount in accounting currency (BT-111) must be provided, and its currency (BT-111-1) must be EUR.
