DE-R-030

Validation message

If both supplier and customer are located in Germany, and if the group "DIRECT DEBIT" (BG-19) is delivered, the element "Bank assigned creditor identifier" (BT-90) shall be provided.

Explanation

When seller and buyer are both located in Germany, PEPPOL applies the German XRechnung requirements: when the invoice announces a SEPA direct debit, it must state the creditor identifier, either for the seller or for the payee. In Germany this number is issued by the Deutsche Bundesbank; it also appears on the direct debit mandate.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states its SEPA creditor identifier.

Applies to

  • PEPPOL BIS (UBL)
