- Editorial review pending
The invoice states bank transfer as the payment method (code 30 or 58 in BT-81) but contains no credit transfer details (BG-17), above all no IBAN. Without them the recipient cannot pay by transfer, and the invoice is not valid.
As of
Who can correct it?
The sender can correct the invoice.
How to fix it
- Ask the sender for a corrected invoice with the IBAN (and BIC if needed) in the structured payment details.
- If you issued the invoice yourself: store your IBAN in the bank account field, not only in the footer text of the invoice.

Message to the sender
Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – bank account missing
Hello,
Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that the invoice names bank transfer as the payment method but does not include a bank account in the structured payment details (rule BR-DE-23-a). An XRechnung is not valid like this. Could you please send the invoice again with your IBAN?
Kind regardsExample
The invoice is payable with a SEPA credit transfer (58), but the corresponding data group is missing. The sender exports the credit transfer details (BG-17) for the agreed method.
