ERROR

XRechnung 3.0

Context and Significance

Buyer ERP systems automatically match suppliers by these identifiers. If none is present, the invoice falls into a manual matching queue and payment is delayed.

Solution

Populate at least one of BT-29, BT-30 or BT-31 in the Seller party block.

Valid Examples

BT-31 = "DE123456789"
BT-30 = "HRB 12345"
BT-29 = "GLN 4012345000094"

Invalid Examples

Seller party with name and address only, BT-29/BT-30/BT-31 all absent
BT-31 cleared because the seller is not VAT-registered, but BT-30 also missing
