Validation message

If both supplier and customer are located in Germany, and if "Invoice type code" (BT-3) contains the code 384 (Corrected invoice), "PRECEDING INVOICE REFERENCE" (BG-3) should be provided at least once.

Explanation

When seller and buyer are both located in Germany, PEPPOL applies the German XRechnung requirements: a corrected invoice should refer to the invoice it corrects. Otherwise the buyer cannot tell which invoice is being replaced or corrected.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states the number and, ideally, the date of the original invoice.
