BR-FR-MV-11
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

In short, in English: When the invoicing framework (BT-23) is S8, B8, M8 or S9, B9, M9 and the main seller (BG-4, legal identifier BT-30) has a group of invoice lines, at least one GROUP line (BG-25, EXT-FR-FE-163) without a parent (EXT-FR-FE-162) must have its line invoice number (BT-128 with BT-128-1 = AFL) equal to the invoice number (BT-1).
