Validation message

If both supplier and customer are located in Germany, and if "Payment means type code" (BT-81) contains a code for credit transfer (30, 58), BG-18 and BG-19 shall not be provided.

Explanation

When seller and buyer are both located in Germany, PEPPOL applies the German XRechnung requirements: a payment instruction describes exactly one way of paying. When its method is a credit transfer, the same instruction must not contain card or direct debit details.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice in which the credit transfer contains only the account details. If the seller offers several ways to pay, each appears as a payment instruction of its own.
