Bank transfer stated, but card or direct debit details included too · BR-DE-23-b
- Severity · Error
- Applies to · UBL / CII
- Editorial review pending
The invoice states bank transfer as the payment method (code 30 or 58 in BT-81). In that case it must not contain payment card details (BG-18) or direct debit details (BG-19), because it would then be unclear how payment should be made. The invoice contains such contradictory details and is therefore 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 that contains only the bank transfer details.
- If you issued the invoice yourself: remove the card or direct debit details, or change the payment method to match.

Paraphrase · Payment means code 30 or 58 excludes card and direct debit details (BG-18 and BG-19) from this payment instruction.
Message to the sender
Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – contradictory payment details
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 also contains card or direct debit details (rule BR-DE-23-b). An XRechnung is not valid like this. Could you please send the invoice again with unambiguous payment details?
Kind regardsExample
The sender specifies payment with a SEPA credit transfer (58). The export also includes a direct debit mandate. The software removes those additional details if they do not belong to the actual payment instruction.
