Card payment stated, but bank or direct debit details included too · BR-DE-24-b
- Severity · Error
- Applies to · UBL / CII
- 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 not contain credit transfer details (BG-17) 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 with unambiguous payment details.
- If you issued the invoice yourself: choose the payment method you actually want and remove the other payment data.

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 card payment as the payment method but also contains a bank account or direct debit details (rule BR-DE-24-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 by card (48). The export also includes credit transfer details. The software removes those additional details if they do not belong to the actual payment instruction.
