Validation message

If both supplier and customer are located in Germany, and if the group "DIRECT DEBIT" (BG-19) is delivered, the element "Debited account identifier" (BT-91) 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 IBAN of the account to be debited, meaning the buyer's account.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice that states the IBAN of the account the buyer gave for the direct debit.
