BR-FR-CO-15
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-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 = "".
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 seller is a member of a single taxable entity (BT-29-1 = 0231), the tax representative block (BG-11) must be present and contain the single taxable entity's VAT number (BT-63).
