France · BR-FR (AFNOR/PDP) FATAL

Official rule text

[BR-FR-CO-15/BT-29-1] : Si le vendeur est membre d’un assujetti unique (BT-29-1 = 0231), alors le bloc représentant fiscal (BG-11) doit être présent et contenir le numéro de TVA de l’assujetti unique (BT-63). État actuel : représentant fiscal , numéro de TVA = "".

What this error means

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 above 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.
