BR-21

Validation message

Each Invoice line (BG-25) shall have an Invoice line identifier (BT-126).

Explanation

Every invoice line needs an identifier, usually a running number (1, 2, 3 …). It lets both sides refer to a line unambiguously in queries or corrections.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice in which every line has a number. When it is missing, the seller's invoicing software is usually the cause.
