Card payment stated, but the card details are missing · BR-DE-24-a

  • Editorial review pending

The invoice states card payment as the payment method (code 48, 54 or 55 in BT-81). In that case it must contain exactly one block of payment card information (BG-18), such as the last digits of the card number and the cardholder name. This block is missing or appears more than once, so the invoice is not valid.

As of

Who can correct it?

The sender can correct the invoice.

How to fix it

  1. Ask the sender for a corrected invoice with the card details, or, if payment is not actually by card, with the correct payment method.
  2. If you issued the invoice yourself: check whether card payment is really intended. For most invoices bank transfer (code 58) is the right payment method.

Message to the sender

Subject: Invoice {invoiceNumber} – card details missing

Hello,

Thank you for your invoice {invoiceNumber} dated {issueDate}. When checking it we noticed that the invoice names card payment as the payment method but the matching card details are missing (rule BR-DE-24-a). An XRechnung is not valid like this. Could you please send the invoice again with complete payment details or the correct payment method?

Kind regards

Example

The invoice is payable by card (48), but the corresponding data group is missing. The sender exports the payment card information (BG-18) for the agreed method.
