# BR-DEX-11 Third party payment amount is required

The Third party payment amount (BT-DEX-002) must be provided when the THIRD PARTY PAYMENT group (BG-DEX-09) is present.

## Problem Description

> **ERROR**: XRechnung extension rule (KoSIT, BR-DEX) · XRechnung 3.0

## Context and Significance

This XRechnung Extension rule fires only in the Extension scenario, where the THIRD PARTY PAYMENT group (mapped to UBL cac:PrepaidPayment) is available and feeds the amount-due calculation.

## Solution

Add cbc:PaidAmount inside cac:PrepaidPayment with its currencyID. If you do not model third party payments, do not emit the BG-DEX-09 group; the standard XRechnung CIUS profile has no such group.
