DE-R-001

Validation message

An invoice shall contain information on "PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS" (BG-16).

Explanation

German invoices (XRechnung) must specify how the buyer should pay — typically a bank account (IBAN) or direct debit mandate. Without this, the buyer's accounting system cannot process the payment automatically.

How to fix

Add payment means (e.g., SEPA credit transfer with IBAN) to the invoice.
