The creditor identifier for the direct debit is missing · BR-DE-30

- Applies to · UBL / CII
- Editorial review pending
The invoice contains direct debit details (BG-19). In that case the seller's bank assigned creditor identifier (BT-90) must be given, the identifier under which they collect SEPA direct debits, starting with DE in Germany. It is missing, so 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 that includes their creditor identifier.
- If you issued the invoice yourself: enter your creditor identifier (issued by the Bundesbank) in the direct debit details, or choose bank transfer as the payment method if you do not collect direct debits at all.
Rule text and source
Paraphrase · When direct debit details are provided, the payment service provider’s creditor identifier (BT-90) is required.
