Reference

BR-DEX-01 Attached document uses a disallowed MIME code

The MIME code of the Attached document (BT-125) must be from the allowed list. In the XRechnung Extension the code application/xml is additionally permitted beyond the codes defined for a binary object.

Problem Description

ERROR

XRechnung 3.0

Context and Significance

This XRechnung Extension rule only fires when the invoice uses the Extension profile, which widens the binary-object MIME list to also allow application/xml.

Solution

Set @mimeCode on the embedded binary object to an allowed value (for example application/pdf, image/png), or application/xml when the Extension carries an XML attachment. If you do not need Extension attachment types, the standard XRechnung CIUS profile avoids this rule.
